Until recently I was Postgraduate Admission Tutor for the Department of Probability & Statistics within the School of Mathematics & Statistics covering all matters relating to the MSc in Statistics, the MSc in Statistics with Medical Applications and the MSc in Statistics with Financial Mathematics, both for full-time residential students and part-time Distance Learning students as well as the Graduate Certificate for Distance Learning students. Until recently I was Tutor for the MMath Mathematics with French, German and Spanish Language and the MMath Mathematics with Study in Europe degree programmes which involve our Erasmus Programme.
I
obtained my BA (1969) from the University of Cambridge, followed by an MSc (1970)
from the University of Birmingham and PhD (1976) from the University of Hull. I
have held teaching posts at the Universities of Edinburgh and Hull, and
visiting positions in Dortmund and Melbourne. I am a Chartered Statistician,
with considerable experience of consulting work. In particular I am consultant
to the Egyptian Exploration Society, which has involved me in visits to
archaeological sites in Egypt. I am a former Editor of the Journal of the Royal
Statistical Society Series D (The Statistician)
and former President of the British Classification Society
My
interests include: particle-size distributions; dendrochronology; multivariate analysis;
linear functional models; problems involving 'outliers'; spatial patterns; biomedical,
environmental and archaeological applications of statistics.
