Researcher with specialist skills in systematic review and meta-analysis methods.

I am a postdoctoral researcher with strong quantitative background and an established international reputation in evidence synthesis methodology. I have earned a PhD and master’s in education and have a considerable track record of publications and international collaborations. My work to date provides a useful link between education, sociology, social work, and social psychology encouraging research collaborations.

I am proficient with the R statistical environment and use this for all advanced analyses including meta-regression, network meta-analysis, and obtaining cluster-robust variances. I am most committed to capacity building which has led to my work as Founder and Editor of the meta-evidence blog and twitter’s @evidencerobot and @COVID_Evidence. I provide regular training and workshops on various quantitative research topics and am currently leading several research teams on projects across the Children’s sector.

In conjunction with these roles, I am a Methods Editor and Information Retrieval specialist for Campbell’s Education Coordinating Group (ECG) and an editor for policy reviews in Children and Society journal.
