Welcome. I am a research scientist in the Cancer Epidemiology Unit at the University of Oxford, working primarily on the Million Women Study. I previously held a postdoctoral position in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Bristol and received my PhD in Mathematics (stochastic processes applied to population biology) from the University of Queensland in 2005.

Research Interests. Broadly, my research interests are in epidemiology and population biology, with an emphasis on statistical and mathematical methodologies. Other than cancer epidemiology, my recent work has included investigations into the use of bacterial viruses as alternatives to antibiotics (with Robert Payne), the extinction of ecological populations in a conservation context (the topic of my PhD thesis, supervised by Phil Pollett and Hugh Possingham) and a number of other minor projects. A list of publications can be found on my research pages, or you can read more about my interests.
