After completing my first degree in Mathematics and Statistics (Joint Honours) at the University of Glasgow in 2003 I stayed on at Glasgow to carry out a PhD in Statistics as part of a four year Teaching Assistant post in the Department of Statistics. In January 2007 I started as a full-time Lecturer within the department and I completed my PhD in May 2007. I was Head of Statistics from January 2019 until July 2022. I am currently Professor of Statistics in the School of Mathematics and Statistics.
My main research interests are in developing statistical methodology and data analytics approaches predominantly for current challenges arising in environmental applications. Approaches include: nonparametric/additive modelling and varying-coefficient models, functional data analysis, functional clustering, network design and data fusion. I currently supervise 2 PDRAs and 7 PhD students.

I am currently a lead investigator leading the Data and Data Analytics workstream as part of a NERC strategic programme grant GALLANT, led by Jaime Toney at University of Glasgow.
I am the president for The International Environmetrics Society (TIES) TIES, an associate Editor for the Journal Environmetrics and for the Journal Journal of Applied Statistics: Environmental Statistics and Data Science, an elected member of the International Statistical Institute and a member of the Environmental Statistics Section of the Royal Statistical Society. I was an elected member of the RSE Young Academy of Scotland from 2016 until 2022, YAS, and an elected member of the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) council from 2019-2022.
Submissions are open for the EnvEcoStats2025 conference organised By University of Glasgow and Lancaster University and sponsored by TIES and the RSS Environmental Stats section. See here for more details: https://envecostats.wordpress.com/
I was the secretary of the The International Environmetrics Society from 2017-2021 and secretary of the Statistical Modelling Society from January 2011-December 2014. The IWSM is an annual international workshop to promote and develop the use of statistical modelling in research and applications. The society also has a journal: Statistical Modelling.
