I have accepted a Research Associate position in Spatial Modelling at Imperial College London.

I have recently submitted my PhD thesis within the Warwick Mathematics and Statistics Centre for Doctoral Training, jointly supervised by Professor Xavier Didelot and Professor Simon Spencer. My PhD research 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, outbreak detection, and likelihood-free methods for fitting infectious disease transmission models to data.

Prior to starting my PhD at Warwick, I obtained a Master’s degree in Medical Statistics from the University of London, School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and a Bachelor’s degree in Statistics from the University of Abuja.
