Profile
I am a researcher with extensive experience in medical statistics and epidemiology. I have developed expertise in both applied and methodological research, particularly with electronic health records, complex longitudinal studies and large population-based registry data.
Before joining the Wolfson Institute of Population Health in September 2023, I held research positions at the University of Manchester, LSHTM, UCL and King’s College London.
