I am a Biostatistician working within the Biostatistics and Data Science Division at The George Institute for Global Health (TGI) and hold a position of Conjoint Associate Lecturer within the Faculty of Medicine at UNSW, Sydney. At TGI, my professional responsibilities predominantly encompass the rigorous analysis of data derived from a diverse array of clinical trials, including opioid, pharmacy, cluster, and cross-over trials and ranging from a variety of health domains including musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, renal conditions, and critical care. My experience to date includes application of advanced statistical techniques including mixed modelling, survival analysis, machine learning techniques as well as working with routinely collected data.
