Biography

I am a lecturer in applied health statistics, based at the Centre for Implementation Science in the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, King’s College London. I hold a hybrid academic role (researcher-in-residence) which involves providing statistical leadership, initiative and support for quality improvement in the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. 

I have an academic background in psychology and sociology and obtained a PhD in Health Service and Population Research. My research interests focus on applying item response theory and structural equation modelling methodologies to address concomitant psychometric issues in longitudinal data analysis.
