Wider Scientific Community Contributions

I have been an active contributor to the statistics community in a number of ways.

During my reseach associateship at the Statistical Laboratory, I organised the Young Statistician's Meeting 2003 (YSM2003), which was held in Cambridge, jointly between the Statistical Laboratory and MRC Biostatistics Unit.

The YSM2003 was jointly organised with Angela Wood, Richard Nixon and Ken Rice at the Biostatistics Unit, Cambridge.

I was a member of the organising committee for the International Statistical Ecology Conference 2008 (St Andrews); a member of the Conference Programme Committee for the Royal Statistical Society Conference 2009 (Edinburgh) and a member of the scientific committee of the 3rd Channel Network Meeting of the International Biometric Society in 2011 (Bordeaux).

The 4th Channel Network Meeting took place in St Andrews from 3-5th July, 2013, where I was the chair of the local organising committee and a member of the scientific committee.

I was a member of the local organising committee of The International Environmetrics Society (TIES) conference at Heriot Watt University (Edinburgh) from 18th-22nd July, 2016.

I was a Committee Member of the International Biometric Society (IBS), British and Irish Region (BIR; 2004-7; 2011-15); and elected member of the IBS Council (2010-13; 2013-17), representing the British and Irish region.

In addition, from 2005-2010 I was the British and Irish Biometric Bulletin Correspondent, contributing to the quarterly Biometric Bulletin detailing recent activity within the British and Irish region of the International Biometric Society.

I was the President of the International Biometric Society (IBS), British and Irish Region (2019-20) (and vice-president in 2018 and 2021).

Within the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) I was a member of the Environmental Statistics Section (2005-9); a member of the Honours Committee (2016-19); and Research Section Committee (2016-19); and an elected member of the Council (2018-22).

I was a Turing Fellow (2016-20) and member of the Programme Committee (2016-18) of the Alan Turing Institute.
