I am Professor of Statistics in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Sheffield. From 2009-2015 I was assistant professor in the School of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Nottingham, before moving to Sheffield to become senior lecturer in 2015, and then professor of statistics in 2018. From 1999-2008 I was a maths student at the University of Cambridge. My PhD was supervised by Professor Simon Tavaré in the Department of Applied Maths and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) and my PhD thesis was on the Bayesian inference of primate divergence times. After my PhD, I did a two year RCUK funded project on Managing Uncertainty in Complex Models project (MUCM), working under the supervision of Jeremy Oakley and Tony O’Hagan. Between studying for the part III maths tripos and my PhD, I spent a year as an A-Level Physics teacher.

I live in Sheffield with my wife, seven year old daughter, and four year old son. In my spare time, I like to feed my cycling and play the piano.
