Biographical Sketch
I am a mathematician and a statistician with a strong interest in biological systems, and I develop computational methods that help to uncover the biological mechanisms which describe how pathogens spread within vectors or through populations. I am also interested in computational statistical methods and I am a lead developer on PINTS, a sandbox environment for benchmarking optimisation and sampling methods, which simultaneously ranks methods' performance and makes these methods immediately available to the community. I am a passionate communicator of statistical ideas and I develop open-source materials which allow other researchers to understand cutting-edge methods.
