Research Interests
Multivariate times series, Seasonality, Hierarchical linear models, Time series cross-sectional models
My research focuses on seasonality in time series data, time-series cross-sectional models and hierarchical generalised linear models. With regards to areas of application, I am involved in a diverse range of collaborations in several fields including political science, social sciences, economics and psychiatric medicine. I am particularly interested in the application of my research to environmental protection. I have been highly involved in collaborations with the Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland.
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.
