MRC Biostatistics Unit

 

Summary

I am an MRC Investigator (Programme Leader Track) working on data integration and analysis of hospital record data.

My recent projects include:

  • Analysis of hospital electronic health record data, particularly from eHospital (Epic) at Cambridge University Hospitals
  • Simplifying Bayesian model building for complex systems using Markov melding
  • Methods for making prior specification more practical
  • Methods for modularisation of Bayesian models with cut distributions
  • Bayesian methods for weighted data
  • Bayesian longitudinal correlated factor analysis with dependent Gaussian processes
  • Parallelisation of the general purpose Bayesian software MultiBUGS

Some of my software is on Github.
