Education
- Lancaster University
  2013 - 2017
  MSc Quantitative Methods for Science, Social Science and Medicine (Applied Statistics) Distinction
  "A practical foundation to the theory and application of statistical methods."Statistical Methods, Statistical Inference, R, Generalised Linear Models, Secondary Data Analysis, Questionnaire Design, Sampling Design, Methods for Missing Data, Bayesian Methods, Quantitative Methods for Scientific Research, Data Mining, Mixed Models, Survival/Duration Analysis, Structural Equation Modelling.Dissertation on Design of Experiments: Augmenting Definitive Screening Designs

  1997 - 2002
  MChem Chemistry with Industrial Experience
- The University of Edinburgh
  2002 - 2007
  PhD Microwave Chemistry
  "Techniques for probing the processes by which microwaves interact with chemical and biological systems"Key motivation: Claims of unusual effects of microwaves upon chemical (increased reaction rate) and biological systems (hazards of mobile phone use) are often insubstatiated due to poor experimental techniques.
