Personal profile
Research interests
I am a Research Fellow in Epidemiology and am based in the dept of Population Health Sciences in the University of Bristol Medical School. My research interests focus on the epidemiology and course of self-harm and suicidal behaviours, including transitions between suicidal thoughts/non-suicidal self-harm and suicide attempts. I currently have a fellowship from the Medical Research Foundation which is using data science methods to identify predictors and patterns of self-harm thoughts and behaviours.
