I am a post-doctoral researcher in Statistics within the Chair of Statistics in the School of Business and Economics at the Humboldt-Unversität zu Berlin. I formerly studied for my PhD based in the Statistical Laboratory in the Department for Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics of the University of Cambridge, as a member of Trinity College, Cambridge. My research focuses have included the development of novel methodologies and theory in the fields of functional data analysis and spatial statistics, including their intersection, as well as applying such methodologies to various applications, including official data and public policy.
