About

I am a research scientist with extensive and specialised mathematical and statistical knowledge and skills. I am highly experienced in sourcing, managing, analysing and modelling data from multiple sources, including remotely sensed, spatial and time-series data. I am particularly adept at developing new approaches that combine statistical and process models with machine learning to solve complex problems, predict outcomes and support business decision-making.
