I am a researcher working on advancing Bayesian statistical methods for the analysis of disease transmission and ecological dynamics. On the BADGER project, I am applying these approaches to interrogate 50+ years of data on badgers and bovine tuberculosis, with the aim of answering both evolutionary and ecological questions about the host-pathogen system. In my previous research I have drawn on controlled experiments, field data, mathematical modelling, and novel Bayesian methodology to tackle questions relating to host-plasmid transmission networks and more general community ecology.
