Biography

Biography

I am Associate Head of School (Resources) and Associate Professor of Statistics in School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics at University of Plymouth. I lead the MSc Health Data Science and Statistics, chair School Equality Diversity and Inclusion Committee, and co-lead the Big Data group
I led the School's successful Athena Swan Bronze application in 2020, and led a cross-faculty team for the establishment of the new MSc Health Data Science and Statistics for September 2022 launch. I also hold an honorary/visiting appointment in Bristol Medical School at University of Bristol. I am an associated member of National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Applied Research Collaboration South West Peninsula (PenARC). Prior to joining Plymouth, I was Investigator Scientist (Statistician) in MRC Clinical Trials Unit at UCL, Career Development Fellow in Biostatistics in MRC Biostatistics Unit at University of Cambridge, and Research Fellow in School of Mathematical Sciences, University of Nottingham. I completed my PhD and MSc in Statistics in 2008 and 2004, respectively, from the School of Mathematics, The University of Manchester. 
My primary research interests include the development of statistical methodology and the substantive applications to medicine, clinical trials, observational studies and evidence synthesis, as well as using data to answer health-related research questions. I have supervised 4 PhD students towards successful completion, leading to publications in statistics journals such as Statistical Methods in Medical Research, Biometrical Journal and Journal of Applied Statistics, and in biomedical journals such as Carbon, and Transplant International.
I led an impact case study "Improved health research and practice through advancing statistical methods and applications" for REF2021 UoA10 Mathematical Sciences. I was a Statistical Editor for Cochrane developmental psychosocial and learning problems review group (2011-2023). I sit on Royal Society's International Exchanges Committee and on Royal Statistical Society President Nominating Committee. I am a member of the Executive Group for Health Data Research UK South-West.

Research interests

My primary research interest is in developing statistical methodology and the substantive applications to medicine, clinical trials, observational studies and evidence synthesis, as well as using data to improve population health and health care services. I have experience in conducting big data enabled health research using NHS data, national registry databases, and large and complex data from national linked electronic health records and longitudinal cohort studies within Trusted Research Environments/Secure Data Environments. I have a sustained research contribution to developing novel statistical methods in medicine, as well as applied health data science, through disciplinary and interdisciplinary collaborations, supported by external research funding.
My specific methodological research areas include:
  • Bayesian inference
  • Clinical prediction models
  • Statistical methods for evidence synthesis
  • Modelling and analysis of infectious diseases epidemiology
  • Survival analysis
I have worked in various disease areas, including 
  • COVID-19
  • Zika virus
  • Cardiovascular diseases
  • Autoimmune disorders
  • Renal diseases
  • Cancer
  • Mental illnesses
  • Neurodegenerative diseases
  • Tuberculosis
  • Hospital-acquired infectious diseases, such as Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci
In 2021, I was awarded an MRC fellowship to work within the COVID-19 Longitudinal Health and Wellbeing National Core Study to investigate the long-term effects of COVID-19 on population health. In 2009-2012, I was an MRC Career Development Fellow in Biostatistics at Cambridge, where I delivered methodological research in multivariate meta-analysis of multiple outcomes and multiple treatments. In 2012-2013, I worked as a methodological Statistician at the MRC London Hub for Trials Methodological Research, where I conducted methodological research in meta-analysis of time-to-event outcomes. I co-developed a statistical package, ipdfc in Stata, to reconstruct individual participant time-to-event data from published Kaplan-Meier curves, which has been used by researchers worldwide (link).
