Before joining Huddersfield University in January 2010, I was employed for about 10 years in the nuclear industry for the UK Atomic Energy Authority and subsequently British Energy, as a mathematical and statistical modeller, and for about 5 years as a mathematics lecturer in Further Education.
I have a PhD in medical statistics from Cardiff University, a first degree in mathematics from the University of Sheffield and MSc and MPhil degrees in materials science from the University of Liverpool. I am a Chartered Mathematician (CMath MIMA) and am a member of the Royal Statistical Society with Graduate Statistician status (FRSS GradStat).

I am able to offer support in PhD projects based on quantitative research methods with a significant statistical component, particularly those involving similar techniques utilised in my own PhD, namely: parametric survival analysis, multivariate methods, multilevel analysis and the analysis of binary data. I can also offer support in more general statistical methods.
I currently contribute to the following modules in the Schools of Human and Health Sciences and Applied Sciences:
- HFP1008: Research 1 [for Allied Health Professionals]
- HIP1010: Research 2 [for Allied Health Professionals]
- HHP1016/HHT1007/HHT1021: Research 3 [for Allied Health Professionals]
- HMB1007: Introduction to Qualitative and Quantitative Data Analysis
- HMB1014: Statistical Analysis of Research Data
- SHP3003/SHC4008 Research Project [for Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences]
- HMP1005: Critical Appraisal of Research Literature
- HMP1006: Research Project Preparation
- HDG1000: Research Theory and Design
I also do occasional teaching on several other modules in the Schools of Human and Health Sciences and Applied Sciences, and on “stand-alone” courses.
I am 2nd or 3rd supervisor of 5 PhD / Professional Doctorate students and also support several members of staff, and PhD and Master’s students on an ad hoc basis.
I am a member of the editorial board of Clinical Biomechanics, Nursing Reports and Journal of Disability and Oral Health as a statistical reviewer, and have also provided statistical reviews for several other journals
I am a member of the School of Human and Health Research and Ethics Panel, and the Skin Interface Sciences group.
