- Profile
-
I first joined the Division of Population Health (previously ScHARR) in 2016 after developing an interest in health research methods. Prior to that I completed my PhD in Computational Neuroscience in the Department of Psychology here at UoS. This was funded by the EPSRC and focused on understanding the brain systems and mechanisms involved in human routine action.

-
- BSc Psychology (Hons), MSc Cognitive & Computational Neuroscience
- PhD Computational Neuroscience
- Research interests
-
I am interested in how novel statistical and computational methodologies can help us to exploit routinely collected healthcare data to drive improvements in patient care, particularly in urgent and emergency care and in situations where standard clinical trials may not be possible or feasible. I am also interested in understanding the causal pathways underlying inequalities of access to and provision of healthcare.
