Introduction

In my current role as a Research Associate my work is on total and healthy life expectancies. As a statistician by training and a PhD in epidemiology my research interests include statistical methods to analyse population based longitudinal data as well as epidemiological measures. Specifically, regression, structural equation modelling, multistate modelling and missing data techniques such as multiple imputation and inverse probability weighting. This is in application to epidemiological topics including prevalence, incidence, risk and life expectancy.
