I am a Lecturer in Statistics at the Statistical Laboratory, which is part of the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at the University of Cambridge. I am also a fellow of the Alan Turing Institute. My research interests include high-dimensional statistics and large-scale data analysis.
