ABOUT

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the MRC Unit for Lifelong Health and Ageing (UCL), with a strong background in epidemiology and data science. I am currently working with Dr Dylan Williams, investigating risk factors and consequences of common infections using population-based studies and electronic health record data.

I am experienced in working with highly complex data and have extensive experience in R, Python, SQL, bash, and High Performance Computing. I am passionate about contributing to the research community and have regularly taught workshops and University modules, including as lead for a 4-week Big Data in Python module. My work history spans the NHS (Clinical Research Network), The Alan Turing Institute, and science writing/editing.

I completed my PhD at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience - King’s College London (Supervisors: Dr Petroula Proitsi and Professor Marcus Richards; Funders: NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre). During this, I was successful in applying for an Enrichment scholarship at The Alan Turing Institute, upskilling in open science and research software engineering.
