About

I completed my PhD in quantitaitve genetics at the University of Edinburgh in 2012, and then spent two years continuing research on genetic architecture at the University of Queensland. I came to the MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit at the University of Bristol in 2014 and here I have worked broadly on statistical genetics, epigenetics and causal inference methodology. I currently hold a Sir Henry Dale fellowship from the Wellcome Trust and the Royal Society on the topic of high dimensional causal modelling.
