- Profile
-
I took over as the Executive Editor for the Applied Probability Trust in August 2019. As part of this role I oversee the editorial process for both the Journal of Applied Probability and Advances in Applied Probability, and manage the finances and day to day operations of this globally reaching charity.
In January 2022, I took over the management aspect of the Biometrika Trust which supports research activities in Statistics and the publication of the journal Biometrika.
In June 2026, my contract was changed to the Applied Probability Trust University Teacher in Probability and Statistics to better reflect the breadth of activities I undertake in my role. As part of the teaching aspects, I am often leading courses on probability, and delivering classes to our engineering students.
