Short Biography

I am a postdoctoral researcher at CCSR (University of Manchester). Previous to moving to CCSR in 2010, I worked at UCL's Department of Epidemiology and Public Health as a research associate, where I also obtained by PhD in 2009. I am currently doing a 2-year postdoctoral fellowship, which will disseminate and expand on work I did during my PhD examining the effect of ethnic density on the health of ethnic minority people.
I am most familiar with multilevel models, although hope to move shortly to applying longitudinal methods to study ethnic inequalities in child health.
