Biographical Sketch:
I completed a first class honours degree in Mathematical Science in University College Dublin in 2006. I began work on my PhD in Statistics in the September of that same year, under the supervision of Dr. Patrick Murphy. I was a Visiting Scholar in the Department of Statistics in Columbia University, New York for several months in 2009. During my time there I worked with Prof. Richard Davis and his research team. I joined the Department of Statistics in the University of Oxford as a Departmental Lecturer in September 2010 and joined Kellogg College that same year.
