Staff Profile

BACKGROUND

As a Chartered Statistician with a PhD in statistical epidemiology, I specialise in using complex longitudinal data and advanced statistical techniques to gain a deeper understanding of how health outcomes evolve over time, particularly with respect to the development of specific diseases and the occurrence of multimorbidity.

My principal area of technical interest relates to statistical methods that are applicable to complex longitudinal data that have the capacity to identify temporal trends and how factors impact/shape those trends. My mathematical expertise centres on methodology used to analyse longitudinal continuous and categorical data and microsimulation.

VISION

To understand:

1. The specific pathways through which biology, disease, lifestyle factors and sociodemographic characteristics interact across the life-course to shape multimorbidity and health trajectories.
2. Ways in which age-related functional decline can be compressed to the shortest possible window before death, leading to better quality of life for older people by compressing their period of dependency.
