Biography
His work involves applying statistical methods to multidisciplinary health and healthcare research, working closely with clinicians, health researchers and other methodological specialists. He contributes statistical expertise to a range of collaborative studies, including NIHR-funded research, and has experience supporting the design, analysis and interpretation of observational, longitudinal and health services research.
At Bristol, he contributes to collaborative research involving the National Child Mortality Database and the QUINTET programme, with a particular focus on quantitative analysis. Alongside his research, he is involved in postgraduate teaching, research supervision and methodological support, and contributes to the development of quantitative research capacity across interdisciplinary health research teams.
Research interests
My research interests focus on applied health statistics, epidemiology and quantitative health research. I have particular interests in longitudinal and multilevel modelling, prediction modelling, machine learning and explainable AI, survival analysis, causal inference, and the analysis of routinely collected and large-scale health data. My applied research spans cancer survivorship and quality of life, child health, health inequalities, healthcare utilisation and health services research. I am particularly interested in developing and applying robust statistical and data-driven methods to support clinical decision-making, risk prediction and improved patient outcomes.
