Overview of teaching:

I teach mathematics and computer science students. My current modules are "Statistics 2" (Year 2) and "Multivariate Statistics and Machine Learning" (Year 3). I have written corresponding lecture notes that can be found here:

• Statistics 2: Likelihood and Bayes (MATH27720)
• Multivariate Statistics and Machine Learning (MATH38161)

Previously (2019-2023) I also taught "Statistical Methods" (Year 2):

• Statistical Methods: Likelihood, Bayes and Regression (MATH20802)

I also supervise BSc, MMath and MSc student projects in Statistics and related fields.

Please see below for the individual course home pages with time tables and links to further materials.
