Short Biography
My main research interests are in the politics of public services, public participation in health care and education, perception and satisfaction measurement, and quality management. I teach public policy, survey and questionnaire design, as well as descriptive, exploratory and advanced quantitative methods to postgraduate research students. The principal techniques that I use include data reduction methods, such as factor analysis/PCA and index construction, and regression modelling.
