• Data Scientist

  • Aug 2015 - Dec 2017

  London, United Kingdom I am working to combine the rich data sources that we have at Travelex with new, custom-built databases, gathered from external sources, to discover fresh business insights. I make use of advanced analytical techniques from Statistics (such as Bayesian modelling, MCMC, ARIMA) and Machine Learning (e.g. linear regression, random forests) to enable this. I split my time equally between coding in R and Python, with some time dedicated to SQL, parallel processing and productionizing bespoke models.

• Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil), Statistics and Probability Theory

  • Oct 2011 - Jul 2015

  Oxford, United Kingdom I worked on mathematical models in the field of population genetics, with a focus on coalescent processes. I was supervised by Professor Alison Etheridge. I developed visualization tools in programming languages such as R and Scala. I gave a number of seminars about my results in my own department and at the University of Mainz. I attended conferences in Vancouver, Cambridge, Corsica and Marseille. I tutored students in both Statistics and Probability Theory.



Department of Mathematics, University of Leeds

• EPSRC Vacation Bursary Scheme

  • Jun 2009 - Sep 2009

  Leeds, United Kingdom This scheme allows undergraduate students to get a taste of academic research by leading their own ten-week project. I used wavelet methods to analyse large, noisy data sets. This work was later published as part of an article in Computational Statistics & Data Analysis.
