Staff Tutor And Senior Lecturer In Mathematics And Statistics
I am a Senior Lecturer and Staff Tutor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics and I have been teaching statistics at the Open University since 2019. I have a PhD in Epigenetics from King's College London. Prior to moving into academia I was a consulting actuary.
My research interests are in applying mathematics and statistics to biology, particularly in the field of genetics and epigenetics. I chair the Mathematical Biology research group and I am keen to promote interdisciplinary working. I am also a Lead for the Open Societal Challenges research programme.
My teaching interests are in statistics. I am currently the Chair for M249 "Practical Modern Statistics" and have previously taught M140 "Introduction to Statistics". Previously I was Deputy Chair for M348 "Applied Statistical Modelling". I am an External Examiner for Liverpool University.
I am a member of the GRACE project (Genetics Raising Awareness through Community Engagement) and run outreach programmes on Mathematical Biology.
