I am the Principal Statistician for the HRB Clinical Research Facility in Cork, Ireland, and a Senior Lecturer in Research Methods at UCC. I collaborate and consult on a large and varied portfolio of patient-focused and public health research projects. My primary goal is to work with investigators to help ensure that their study designs and methods for data analysis are appropriate. I am also interested in methodological research, particularly in the areas of longitudinal and latent variable statistical modelling, and analysis of compositional data (e.g. body composition, microbiome studies). Lastly, I am the Statistics Editor for the Journal for the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease, and conduct related research on the relationships between infant nutrition and growth with life long cardio-metabolic health.
I am happy to supervise projects from any area of patient-focused or public health research, as long as the project has a methodological focus. I would be an ideal research supervisor for any student who is interested in a career in clinical trials, irrespective of medical speciality, and I am involved in a variety of studies that could form the basis for a PhD project. I am also well suited to supervise students interested in researching how life-long risk of cardio-metabolic health might be influenced by maternal lifestyle factors, infant feeding, and infant growth.
