Profile

I joined ScHARR in 2005 after completing a BSc in Mathematics from the University of Sheffield and an MSc in Operational Research from Lancaster University. Since joining ScHARR, I have undertaken modelling projects for NICE, the Department of Health, the NHS Cancer Screening Programme and the pharmaceutical industry. A large part of this work has been around Public Health interventions and cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment. In 2010 - 2013 I developed a framework for helping modellers develop the structure of Public Health economic models as part of a NIHR doctoral research fellowship.

I am currently undertaking a NIHR Advanced Fellowship, exploring methods for incorporating behaviour into health economic models of Public Health interventions.

I contribute to PhD and Masters programmes in ScHARR including being one of the supervisors of the Wellcome Doctoral Training Centre in  and part of the module team Advanced Simulation Methods.

Research interests
