After a first degree in economics and econometrics I did an MSc in computing and a diploma in Epidemiology. I worked for 8 years as an associate lecturer in Statistics at the University of Alcala de Henares in Spain (Home town of Cervantes, the famous writer of "Don Quixote"). I used to combine my academic work with freelance consultancy, analysing data and teaching biostatistics to health professionals.

Affiliation

• Department of Medical Statistics
• Faculty of Epidemiology and Population Health

Teaching

I teach stats in different modules and diplomas at the School. I lead the module in Bayesian Statistics in the Medical Statistics MSc.

Research

Under the supervision of Prof. Evans I develop and apply Bayesian methods for the analysis of large databases of pharmacovigilance. Under Prof. Pocock's supervision I do research on risk scores for cardiovascular disease. I also do data analysis for the British Women's Heart and Health Study.
