I am a third-year PhD student in the Warwick Math and Stats CDT working in the field of Statistical Epidemiology under the joint supervision of Professor Xavier Didelot and Professor Simon Spencer. My PhD research is focused on Bayesian inference for spatio-temporal epidemic modelling. In particular, it involves Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods, latent non-Gaussian hierarchical modelling, filtering methods for state space and hidden Markov models, and likelihood-free methods for fitting infectious disease transmission models to data.

Prior to joining the CDT, I obtained a Master's degree in Medical Statistics from the University of London, School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) funded by the UK MRC International Statistics and Epidemiology Group, and a Bachelor's degree in Statistics from the University of Abuja, Nigeria.
