I studied psychology in Bremen (Germany) and social research methods and statistics in London. After spells as a researcher and statistics lecturer at City, University of London and the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, I joined UCL's Department of Applied Health Research in April 2017.


I am an applied statistician involved in studies in psychology, health care, and epidemiology, with a particular interest in mental health. My work has included life course research, survey methodology, monitoring and evaluation of health services, and psychotherapy research. I use a variety of designs and types of data, including randomised controlled trials, cross-sectional and longitudinal surveys, and clinical records (such as hospital episode statistics). Currently I am involved in two large projects at the Royal College of Anaesthetists, namely the National Emergency Laparotomy Audit and the Perioperative Quality Improvement Programme. I am also a member of ChAPTRe, the Child Attachment and Psychological Therapies Research Unit based at UCL and the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families.
My Erdős number is 5.
I enjoy teaching statistical data analysis and research methods, and regularly give lectures on statistical modelling for MSc students and within the UCL Doctoral School.
In 2018/19, I will co-lead the modules "Regression Modelling" (with Paola Zaninotto) and "Advanced Statistics" (with Hynek Pikhart) for students on the MSc courses Health & Society, Population Health, and Dental Public Health. I also co-lead (with Paola Zaninotto) the short course on "Research Methods for Quantitative Data" at the UCL Doctoral School.
