I am a Lecturer in Data Science at the University of Glasgow and a member of the Information Data & Analysis (IDA) and Centre for Computing Science Education (CCSE) sections.

I completed my PhD at the University of Stirling, supervised by Carron Shankland and Rachel Norman. My PhD and early postdoctoral research at Stirling developed a rigorous method to move between individual and population descriptions of biological systems. Following this I worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Strathclyde, where I worked on a range of marine science projects. This was followed by a period in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Enginnering also at Strthclyde where I applied a range of data science techniques on a number of industry-facing innovation projects.

Over the course of my postdoctoral research I became increasingly interested in the teaching I was doing alongside my research and this eventually led me to my current Learning, Teaching and Scholarship role at Glasgow.
