Biography
I joined the unit in August 2013 and in that time I have worked on several randomised controlled trials, technology appraisals for NICE and a systematic review.
Before I joined the unit I worked in the 51cg Business School as a researcher on the SOCIOLD and HealthAtWork projects. Latterly, I was also employed as Teaching Assistant in the Business School.
I studied Accountancy and Statistics at the 51cg graduating in 2000 and also obtained an MSc by research in Statistics at the 51cg in 2002. I obtained my PhD in Economics in 2011.
