Statistics applied to forensic science and the law. It involves statistical issues such as

- exploratory analysis of trace evidence to help investigators focus their search for appropriate control materials

- evaluation of evidence such as DNA, glass fragments and fingerprints left at a crime scene

- sampling problems related to drugs consignments, 

and the effective communication of results to a non-statistical audience.

I teach a variety of statistics courses and supervise student projects at the undergraduate and postgraduate level. My teaching philosophy emphasises active learning, encouraging student engagement and interaction through assignments that enable students to learn by doing. In addition to in-person teaching, in recent years I have worked on designing and delivering online courses and assessments for the [[Online MSc in Data Analytics|https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/mathematicsstatistics/postgraduate/onlineprogrammes/analytics/]]. 

Courses taught in academic year 2024-25:

Advanced Data Analysis 4H/M
Advanced Predictive Models (Online MSc Data Analytics)

Previously taught courses at the University of Glasgow:

Generalized Linear Models 3H/M
Statistics 1Z Forensic Statistics Case Study
Biostatistics 3H/M
Linear Mixed Models 4H/M
Statistics 2X: Probability Models
Analysis of Data 3H
Applied Modelling 3H: Logistic Regression and Survival Analysis
