Associate Professor in Statistics, University of Oxford
Tutorial Fellow, Keble College

I am an Associate Professor in the department of Statistics and a tutorial Fellow at Keble College, University of Oxford. I am co-director of the Oxford-Warwick EPSRC-MRC Centre for Doctoral Training in modern statistical science (OxWaSP).

Research interests

My research interests lie in the development of probabilistic models for the analysis of complex and structured data, the study of the theoretical properties of such models and the development of scalable inference algorithms. I am currently particularly interested in sparse networks.
