I studied Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge, and completed a PhD in particle physics at Durham University. I then retrained as a medical statistician through an NIHR research methods fellowship. As part of the fellowship I obtained an MSc in Medical Statistics from LSHTM and worked at the Pragmatic Clinical Trials Unit, Queen Mary University of London. I joined the School as a research fellow in 2014. Since then I have worked on a variety of project including work on both trials and observational studies.
