Thanks for visiting this website. I completed my PhD in 2018 and consequently am no longer a student at Lancaster University. My thesis was titled "Statistical Models for Extreme Weather Events" and I was supervised by Jonathan Tawn, Simon Brown (Met Office) and Hugo Winter (EDF Energy) as part of the EPSRC-funded STOR-i Centre for Doctoral Training. I am currently a Statistician/Data Scientist at JBA Consulting.
