Profile
- Geostatistics
- Machine Learning
- Epidemiology
I am a lecturer in biostatistics. My interests lie in problems involving observational data and often with a focus on prediction. This has involved work on geospatial models, machine learning models and disaggregation regression models as well as how to combine models from different modelling paradigms such as combining Bayesian statistics and machine learning models. I studied an MBioSci in Zoology at the University of Sheffield followed by a PhD in disease ecology (bats and zoonotic diseases) at University College London. I then joined the Malaria Atlas Project for a postdoc developing disaggregation regression models for predicting malaria incidence. After a short post-doc studying neglected tropical diseases and one year as a research fellow at Imperial College studying air pollution I joined the Department of Health Sciences as a lecturer.
