My research to date has focussed on how patterns of growth across the life course impact upon future health. I also have interests in the construction of appropriate growth charts for use in different populations and have produced references for a variety of populations and outcomes. 

My work has involved a range of statistical techniques, with an emphasis on longitudinal growth modelling and the production of reference charts. I also have an interest in causal inference methods and multiple imputation to handle missing data. 

Most recently i have been working on a project investigating the relationship between patterns of BMI development across the life course and adult cardiometabolic health in the three nationally representative British birth cohorts.
