Biografía

I have a background in mathematics, statistics, programming, databases, security, privacy, and Parkinson’s research. I have been a member of the Christchurch Parkinson’s research group since 2002.

As the bioinformatics manager at NZBRI I’m responsible both for data management and assisting researchers with statistical analysis. My areas of statistics expertise are biostatistics, Bayesian modelling, multilevel models, and machine learning.

My particular areas of research interest are: (a) the epidemiology of Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis. (b) Genetic and environmental factors contributing to Parkinson’s disease. (c) Developing predictive models of future cognitive decline
