I am an academic scholar in Operational Research/Management Science and a Fellow of the Operational Research Society (FORS) conducting analytical rigorous but highly applied research that generates both academic and practical impact. Working in close collaboration with clinicians and healthcare professionals I develop and apply rigorous advanced analytics methods to help better plan and deliver care services. I am also interested in the evaluation of the likely impact of healthcare interventions and policy initiatives using mathematical modelling and computer simulation. More recently, I have (humbly) ventured into qualitative and ethnographic research methods as and when appropriate. 

I have worked on a large number of problems in health and care ranging from the monitoring of surgical site infections to the organisation of care services for patients with acute stroke, glaucoma, common mental health problems, and vague symptoms of cancer. Recent work includes a number modelling studies in the context of intensive care units during the Covid19 pandemic (impact of capacity on avoidable deaths, impact of admission criteria on lives and life-years lost), evaluating strategies of blood provision following mass casualty events and facility location analysis for maternity services. 

I welcome enquiries from potential PhD students in the areas of operational research / management science applied to health care problems and in systems modelling and simulation.

Currently, I lead and deliver the Advanced Business Analytics 5-day unit as part of our MBA programme, and teach a number of analytics and decision making topics in our MSc degrees.
