BIO
My research centres on the rigorous application of state-of-the-art statistical methodology, with particular expertise in Bayesian inference and spatio-temporal modelling. I am passionate about ensuring that advanced methods are implemented correctly and meaningfully across disciplines, so that statistical analysis translates into genuine community impact. My work spans environmental epidemiology, biological sciences, soil science, and public health, where complex data structures demand careful modelling and principled uncertainty quantification.
