I do research in the field of statistical ecology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I completed my undergraduate masters degree in Mathematics in 2022 from the University of York. Whilst there I took interest in both pure mathematics and statistics. I still enjoy group theory and associated ideas in my spare time, though I now focus on statistics. I joined STOR-i CDT in October 2022, completing an MRes in Statistics and Operational Research in 2023 and now doing a PhD in the field of Statistical Ecology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am also a big fan of coding, with experience in R, Python, C++, MatLab and more.
