Biography

I am a statistician, modeller and geneticist with interests in developing and applying statistical methods across fields ranging from population genetics to ecology to veterinary and human epidemiology. I have worked on research projects in both academic and consultancy settings. I am involved in several international multi-disciplinary collaborations researching zoonotic and tropical diseases including rabies, Rift Valley fever, and malaria. I also have extensive experience of using computer simulation to improve study design, analysis of genetic association studies, modelling genotyping errors, and developing methods for estimating R² from generalised linear mixed-effects models (GLMMs).

Research interests

As a statistician I collaborate on a wide range of research projects (see my publications). Below is a selection of the projects I've worked on over the past decade.

Selected applied research areas

NERC Highlight Topic: Identifying inter-epizootic transmission routes of Rift Valley fever virus in Tanzania to inform targeted control strategies for outbreak response. This project is a collaboration with Jennie Lord in Liverpool and Jess Clark and Sarah Cleaveland in Glasgow.
SEEDZ: Social, Economic and Environmental Drivers of Zoonoses Livestock, Livelihoods and Health. My role on the project is to model zoonosis transmission in Northern Tanzania (SEEDZ modelling PIs: Rowland Kao & Louise Matthews)
Epi-SEQ: Molecular epidemiology of epizootic diseases using next generation sequencing technology (Glasgow PI: Dan Haydon).
AvecNet (African Vector Control: New Tools), a collaborative project between African and European Researchers to develop and evaluate new tools for malaria control in Africa (Glasgow PI: Heather Ferguson).
Investigating the role of HLA alleles in causing Hodgkin lymphoma (PI: Ruth Jarrett).

Methodological research

Helping to design experiments for the AvecNet project got me interested in using simulations to do power analysis for generalised linear mixed models (GLMMs). The resulting paper and tutorial can be found here. I've made the simulation function, plus some R functions for assessing the fit of GLMMs, available in an R package, GLMMmisc.
I published a note showing how to account for random slopes when estimating R² for GLMMs, based on Nakagawa & Schielzeth's R²_GLMM method. This method has been incorporated into the piecewiseSEM and MuMIn R packages, and featured in this blog post. I recently contributed to further extending Nakagawa & Schielzeth's R²_GLMM to a wider range of GLMMs.
In collaboration with Dan Haydon I wrote Pedant, a program for estimating microsatellite genotyping error rates.

Software
