About me
As a statistics lecturer I teach undergraduate and postgraduate courses of all shapes and sizes. As a statistical researcher I am interested in the development and application of statistical techniques in medicine and epidemiology.
I completed my PhD in 2011 at the University of Bristol, then secured an EPSRC-funded Brunel fellowship, both in mathematical statistics. My other postdoctoral positions were on medical statistics projects, culminating with work at the MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit at the University of Bristol. I started as a statistics lecturer at UWE Bristol in 2015, and have been a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy since 2016.
My work on cumulative live-birth rates over a course of IVF treatment has informed changes to Scottish Government policy regarding NHS provision of IVF. I was named EDM Researcher of the Year in 2016. I coordinate the Applied Statistics Group's series of one-day CPD courses.
With collaborators at the University of Bristol and University of Glasgow, I have secured research funding from Wellbeing of Women (special call with the Chief Scientist Office in Scotland). I also collaborate with The Dunn Lab (Massachusetts General Hospital - Harvard University).
Area of expertise
Medical statistics in observational study settings.
- Statistical methods for life course epidemiology (specifically the structured approach, which tests hypotheses about the causal effect of an exposure measured repeatedly over the life course).
- Prognostic modelling of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and observational assessment of best practice.
- Cluster analysis and principal components analysis of dietary patterns.
