Research Interests

My main research interests are biostatistical, particularly multi-disciplinary studies in the areas of paediatrics, nutrition and growth though I continue to work with collaborators across many areas of medicine and dentistry. I have become increasingly active in research into educational issues, including how to give feedback to students on their work and the role played by personal attributes in determining success in higher education. From a more methodological perspective, I am interested in strategies for dealing with missing values in longitudinal studies.
