I am an Assistant Professor in Applied Statistics.

Previously, I was a Post-Doctoral Research Associate of the collaboration, a project that aims at developing new advanced methods to tackle health problems. I worked under the joint supervision of Gareth Roberts and Simon Spencer.

As part of my work, I am looking at MCMC methods, particularly focussing on the Zig-Zag sampling (Bierkens et al, 2019) and its application to Bayesian inference of infectious disease dynamics from epidemic data.

Previously, I was in Cambridge (MRC Biostatistics Unit), where I did a PhD under the joint supervision of and on epidemic models for influenza. You can find my PhD thesis .

Please come to my office for a chat on the most interesting topics of stats (MCMC, SMC, dynamic models and SSMs, infectious disease dynamics, model identifiability and many more!). Or let's chat at the events I'll be attending, listed below.

Teaching

This year I will be teaching ST301Link opens in a new window/ST413Link opens in a new window Bayesian Statistics and decision theory in Term 1 and ST332Link opens in a new window/ST409Link opens in a new window Medical Statistics.
