Biography
I completed my PhD in 2018 in the TCD School of Computer Science and Statistics. My PhD focused on synthesising evidence using Bayesian methods and Network Meta-Analysis (NMA). Since completion of my PhD I have worked as I a statistician at the National Centre for Pharmacoeconomics (NCPE).
