Personal profile
Research interests
I am a Statistician with interest in the application of statistical methods and machine learning techniques in epidemiology, health and environmental sciences. I am particularly interested in the modelling of disease risks and change in disease risks over space and time. Current research areas include spatial epidemiology, species distribution models, time series models and the analyses of disease surveillance data. I am also interested in the design of surveys and experiments and analysis of data emanating from such designs. Work on several large datasets emanating from different sectors of the Scottish livestock systems. Conduct research that inform the Scottish Government’s BVD control scheme Leading the technical team of the international consortium working on a European Space Agency (ESA) funded LymeApp project Currently managing a European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) funded project working with five countries in Europe to develop an Outcome-based Tool for Comparison of disease freedom |
