I am a Senior Lecturer in Medical Statistics at Queen's University Belfast, with expertise in a wide range of statistical specialties, such as biostatistics, psychometrics and econometrics. I completed my PhD in Advanced Discrete Choice Models.
I joined the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences in 2015, having previously worked in the School of Mathematics and Physics, also at Queen's University Belfast. Prior to this, I worked at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Biostatistics Unit in Cambridge.
One of the aspects I love most about being a statistician is the opportunity to apply my expertise across a diverse range of research areas. Currently, I focus on developing and implementing statistical methods within the health and life sciences.
I am responsible for both lecturing and supervising research projects on a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate courses, particularly those requiring statistics. I also founded and manage the I Need It STAT hub, a free statistical support service, which assists researchers with data management and statistical analysis. The hub runs monthly training sessions and weekly one-to-one drop-in clinics which are available for anyone to book into.
Additionally, as the Academic Lead for Psychometrics, I have extensive experience in educational assessment research. I was recently appointed to the Medical Schools' Applied Knowledge Test (MS AKT) as a Psychometrician.
