Research interests

I am an applied statistician interested in developing flexible models that enhance our understanding of data to facilitate inference. My research focuses on modelling multilevel, multivariate data with applications in forensic science, health, the environment and social science.

Teaching

I teach a variety of statistics courses and supervise projects at the undergraduate and postgraduate level. My teaching philosophy is centered around the belief that learning is most effective when it's hands-on. I design my courses with this in mind, aiming to encourage active participation and learning by doing. In addition to in-person teaching, in recent years I have worked on designing and delivering online courses and assessments for the Online MSc in Data Analytics.
