Areas of Consultancy: Bayesian methodsClinical trialsSimulationStatistical inference
Region of consultancy: Worldwide
I have been working as a consultant for 30 years and have had numerous clients. I am an expert in methodology and applications of Bayesian statistics. I have worked extensively in health (clinical trials, drug development, cost-effectiveness, manpower planning), engineering (water, railways, nuclear power) and the environment (climate, regulation), plus I am always pleased to get into new fields!
Between gaining my BSc and PhD in Statistics from University College London, I worked for two years (1969-71) in the electricity industry. My career from 1973 to 2008 was as an academic statistician, where I become one of the world's leading researchers in Bayesian statistics. I have published several books and well over 100 research papers. As recognition of the value of Bayesian methods grew, I became active as a consultant, and I have had the pleasure of working in many application areas. I took early retirement in 2008 and have continued working as a consultant. Recent clients have included GlaxoSmithKline (and several other pharmaceutical companies), London Underground (where I developed the statistical methodology behind an award-winning asset management system), the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission and the European Food Safety Authority.
