Professor of Applied Statistics at the University of Hertfordshire, Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society and Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences. I have worked with a myriad of subject specialists during my time as a statistician/data scientist. These projects include paintings by psychiatric patients, the 1861 census, antenatal care, health-related behaviour in young people, paramedic skills, platform working, compassion in teaching, food and drink purchasing by pupils, creating family memories, robotic prostatectomies, medical humanities, ranking MPs, acupuncture and others. I have also undertaken work advancing statistical methodology in a range of areas such as multilevel models, multiple testing, choices of statistical tests and sampling. Research funding has come from a variety of sources, including UK Government Departments (Health, Education, Energy and Climate Change), the European Institute for Gender Equality, European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound) and the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme.
