About me
My research focuses on developing and applying statistical and machine learning methods to understand complex behavioural and health-related data. I am particularly interested in probabilistic modelling, uncertainty quantification, latent-state models, temporal dynamics, and interpretable machine learning.
Much of my work involves the study of behavioural processes over time. I am interested in understanding what predictive models reveal about underlying systems, how uncertainty can be represented and quantified, and how statistical models can be used to generate scientific insight rather than prediction alone.
