I am a senior lecturer in statistics.

I am an experienced academic in the area of applied statistics and mathematics. I am passionate about teaching and engaging in scholarly activities in the areas of statistical modelling, data analytics and machine learning.

I joined Sheffield Hallam University in January 2020 as a Lecturer in Statistics in the Department of Engineering and Mathematics. I moved to the School of Computing and Digital Technologies in October 2023, and I am currently the Athena Swan Champion for the School and the Course Leader for the Online MScs in Computer Science, Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science with Cyber Security, Computer Science with Data Analytics and Computer Science with Software Engineering.

Prior to joining Sheffield Hallam University, I worked as a university teaching associate at the University of Sheffield and before that as a postdoctoral research associate at both the University of Glasgow and the University of Sheffield. The research projects I worked on included Classifiers in Medicine and Biology (Advancing Machine Learning Methodology for New Classes of Prediction Problems), Accurately Inferring Microbial Community Structure from Next Generation Sequencing Data and Improved Tools for the Analysis of Metagenomics Data, and Simulation Tools for Automated and Robust Manufacturing.

I am strong advocate for Equality, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion including being a member of the University's LGBT+ network.
