I am a Lecturer/Assistant Professor in Statistics within the School of Mathematics and Statistics at University College Dublin (Ireland).

My research focuses on developing novel statistical and machine learning methods for analyzing high-dimensional and complex data. I work at the intersection of methodological and applied statistics, often motivated by data-driven challenges in scientific and interdisciplinary research. My interests include latent variable models, network analysis, clustering, classification, and dimension reduction.

I teach statistical machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence at graduate and postgraduate levels, and I have experience designing and delivering courses on statistical programming and statistical network analysis to PhD students.

I serve as the programme director for the BSc/BA/BScSocSc degrees in Statistics. I am also the lead coordinator of the UCD School of Mathematics and Statistics Working Group on Statistical Learning and the Statistics and Actuarial Science seminar series.

I am currently an Associate Editor of the Journal of Data Science, Statistics, and Visualisation and an Editorial Board Reviewer for the Journal of Machine Learning Research. Previously, I was the Founding Chair of the Young Section of the Irish Statistical Association (2019 - 2021).
