Primary Care & Health Sciences

I joined the Arthritis Research UK Primary Care Centre in 2006 after having completed my PhD in Statistics at Mathematics department at Keele Univerisity. My initial appointment was postdoctoral researcher and subsequently lecturer in Statistics. In 2010, I obtained the NIHR NSPCR Postdoctoral fellowship.

I hold  BSc degree in Mathematics and Economics. I am a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society and a member of Irish Statistical Association.

My interests lie primarily in using current methodology and new model development in improving the accuracy of treatment effect assessment in observational studies. Methodologies I am particularly interested in are propensity scores and frailty modeling. The Arthritis Research UK Primary Care Centre has a rich array of high quality data that may be utilized to undertake even the most intricate data analyses while providing insightful clinical findings at the same time.

Statistics and Epidemiology (multivariate statistics) module within Masters in Medical Science postgraduate course.

I have previously lectured and coordinated final year undergraduate modules including statistical inference and stochastic processes.
