Since 2004, I have been a faculty member in the
Department of Biostatistics
at the University of Washington. Prior to this, I worked as a postdoc in the MRC Biostatistics Unit, under the supervision of David Spiegelhalter, who also advised my PhD work. Going back further, I completed Cambridge's Diploma in Mathematical Statistics, working with Doug Easton. My undergraduate training was in mathematics, at Churchill College, Cambridge. I was elected a Fellow of the American Statistical Association in 2018.
My research focuses primarily on developing and applying statistical methods for complex disease epidemiology, notably cardiovascular disease. I direct UW's Genetic Analysis Center, where my team currently serves as the the coordinating center for NHGRI's Polygenic Risk Methods in Diverse Populations (PRIMED) Consortium. Previously I led the Data Coordinating Center and Analysis Committee for NHLBI's TOPMed whole-genome sequencing project, and chaired the Analysis Committee for the CHARGE consortium - a large group of investigators studying genetic determinants of heart and aging outcomes through cohort studies. I am an investigator at UW's Cardiovascular Health Research Unit.
Outside UW, I serve as a member of the External Evaluation Committee for the TEDDY study, serve on the Observational Study Monitoring Board of the Pediatric Cardiac Genomics Consortium, and on the Data Safety Monitoring Board of the EPIPHANY trial. I am also the senior statistical editor for the Journal of the American Heart Association.
As well as directing UW Biostatistics' graduate program, I regularly teach graduate courses in statistics and biostatistics, and short courses in statistical computing, all for audiences of various levels. I also advise graduate students, often as part of ongoing collaborations, and am active in UW Biostatistics' consulting activities.
