I am a Senior Research Fellow and Team Leader at the MRC Biostatistics Unit, University of Cambridge (United Kingdom). I hold a PhD in Mathematics from EPFL (Switzerland). My research lies at the intersection of statistical methodology and its application to open problems in biomedicine.
My team develops Bayesian methods and accompanying software, with a focus on scalable hierarchical modelling approaches for variable selection, latent structure discovery and network estimation, in high-dimensional or temporal data settings. Our methods are motivated by research questions arising from collaborative clinical and biological studies. Our overarching goal is to provide principled statistical and computational tools to help advance our understanding of the biological processes driving disease risk and progression.
