About Me

I am a third year DPhil student on the StatML CDT. The goal of my doctoral project is to model the humanitarian impact of disaster events such as earthquakes. I completed my undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Western Australia, and was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship in 2021. Outside of my studies, I enjoy swimming, ABBA/Taylor Swift club nights, and walks around University Parks with a good podcast.

Research Interests

My primary statistical interests are Bayesian statistics and MCMC methods. I am most driven by the applications of my work, and in the long run, would like to use statistics and/or machine learning to address societal or environmental challenges.
