About me

I am a Research Associate in Statistics at the University of Bath, where I am part of the Centre of Excellence in Water-Based Early Warning Systems for Health Protection (CWBE). My current research focuses on applying statistics to wastewater-based epidemiology.

I have also worked on post-selection inference for changepoint models (with Paul Fearnhead at Lancaster University). This involved adapting existing methods to obtain greater power in detecting changes, and developing methods for post-selection inference in the piecewise constant variable model.
