About me

Following my doctoral studies in Mathematics at the University of Nebraska, I joined the University of California, Riverside as a Visiting Assistant Professor in Mathematics. In 2012, I joined the University of Sheffield as an EPSRC Research Associate working in commutative algebra of singularities. In 2015, I moved to the School of Health and Related Research (ScHARR) as an NIHR Research Methods Fellow in Statistics within the Design, Trials and Statistics group, and in 2018, I became and MRC Skills Development Fellow within the Alcohol Research group. In ScHARR, I worked in the development of measures of hospital performance and quality of care offered to patients, based on the analysis of large routine observational data, and in the spatial epidemiology of alcohol availability, consumption and harm.

In August 2022, moved to the University of Manchester as a lecturer in Mathematics of Data Science, but remain an Honorary Research Fellow within Sheffield's School of Medicine and Population Health.

My research spans between the fields of mathematics and statistics, both on methods development and on applications to Health research and policy. 

Research

My recent research has focused on Spatial Mathematics and Statistics, statistical learning and their applications to Public Health. I am particularly interested in spatial epidemiology with a focus on Alcohol availability, consumption patterns, and harm. This work has been funded by the MRC (Skills Development fellowship), the NIHR, and the Scottish and Northern Irish governments. I was the founding organiser of the Early Career Alcohol Research Symposium, funded by the Society for the Study of Addiction. 

My work in Health Statistics includes the development of hospital performance measures relating to the quality and safety of care offered to patients, based on the analysis of large routine observational data, as well as the development and review of statistical methods in clinical trials (funded by an NIHR Research Methods Fellowship).

My mathematical research work focuses in the fields of Commutative and Homological Algebra, with connections to Representation Theory, Algebraic Geometry and Singularity Theory. I'm particularly interested in the study of homological properties of rings and modules.
