DPhil in Statistics student

About Me

I am a fourth year DPhil student in the Department of Statistics, working on building and fitting new models for quantifying meaning change for words in natural languages. I was an undergraduate in Mathematics and Statistics at St Peter's College, Oxford, before going on to work in the industry as a life insurance actuary. After qualifying as a Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries, I returned to Jesus College, Oxford, to read for the MSc in Statistical Science, and stayed on for the DPhil.
