Statistician/data scientist/mathematician with interests in both foundations and applications.

Background

Ph.D | University of Durham
MMath | University of Durham


Research Interests

My research involves the identification and quantification of patterns in past data that allow us to predict future data. The general strategy is to work with domain experts to solve a problem that interests them. We publish the findings we make and the tools we develop along the way so that other people can use them to solve their own problems.
