I am a research fellow working within the ROBuST project with Professor David Rand and Dr Barbel Finkenstadt at the Warwick Systems Biology Centre.

Research Interests

My research interests include the study and development of penalized spline models in a variety of  applications, ranging from GAMs to Cox models with time-varying covariate effects. More recently I became involved in Bayesian estimation for models based on stochastic differential equations whilst working for ROBuST.
