i’m a lecturer in social statistics and global health at the university of southampton, in the department of social statistics and demography and the southampton statistical sciences research institute (s3ri). i work at the intersection of bayesian methods, spatial statistics, small-area estimation, survey methodology, and official statistics.

one current thread asks how routine administrative data, calibrated against sparse probability surveys, can sustain subnational estimates of health when survey funding is shrinking; another studies what happens to official statistics when machine-learning methods enter their production. most of my applied work concerns hiv and immunisation coverage across african countries, in collaboration with the world health organization, unaids, gavi, unicef, and ministries of health.

this site is a slow corner of the internet for my research, teaching, and writing.
