Expertise
Operational Research applied to health care service delivery
Biography
I joined PenCHORD in 2020, and have an interest in applied health and social care modelling, simulation and data analytics to improve understanding and provide decision-support for health and care services. In September 2023 I started a new role at the University of Exeter Business School as a Lecturer of Business Analytics at the Centre for Simulation, Analytics and Modelling (CSAM), but keep close ties with the PenCHORD team.
I have a clinical background in physiotherapy from the University of Queensland (Australia), an MSc in Human Factors (applied psychology), and completed my PhD at the University of Exeter Business School. I have a particular interest in how people interact with technology to inform action.
