I'm currently a Research Software Engineer working in the Research Engineering Team at The Alan Turing Institute.
Prior to joining the Research Engineering Team at Turing, I completed my PhD in Statistics at the Institute and the University of Warwick. During my PhD, I worked on developing scalable Monte Carlo methods under the supervision of Professor Gareth Roberts (Warwick) and Dr Murray Pollock (Newcastle).
I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Leeds, where I was awarded a first class honours MMath Mathematics degree and recieved the Royal Statistics Society Prize for outstanding performance in my studies.
My main research focus during my PhD was primarily in developing Monte Carlo methods for combining distributed statistical analyses (Fusion). These days, I work less on Monte Carlo methods, and my role as a research software engineer at the Turing has allowed me to explore a number of interesting research areas. Some projects that I have been involved with at the Turing are:
