I’m a statistician who builds software and models for observational data, currently in the context of global biodiversity modelling.
At the Natural History Museum in London, I work on the modelling and engineering behind the Biodiversity Intactness Index. This involves hierarchical mixed-effects models fitted to heterogeneous data pooled from many independent field studies, then projected globally.
Before that, I did a PhD in statistics at the University of Western Australia and a postdoc at the University of Cambridge, developing Bayesian methods for combining mechanistic models with data when those models are known to be wrong (PNAS, 2021).
