About

My research interests lie in Analysis and Probability, in particular in pseudo-differential operators and Levy-type processes. I am co-author (with Niels Jacob) of a series of Analysis textbooks, entitled A Course in Analysis. In recent years, I have enjoyed developing new Statistics teaching provision in the Mathematics Department, however I have also taught a wide range of topics in Mathematics, including Complex Analysis. I have a genuine interest in teaching in an engaging and inclusive way and I like to share good practice where appropriate. I am also the Programme Director for our Mathematics and Actuarial Science programmes.

Taught Modules

MA-292 Statistical Data Analysis

This module concentrates on non-parametric statistics and techniques used to treat categorical data. In particular, the module covers a variety of statistical tests, criteria for choosing appropriate tests and the use of statistical software in order to deal with large data sets.
MA-301 Complex Analysis

The module approaches the theory of complex analytic functions; including concepts of Cauchy-Riemann equations, power series, Laurent series and residue calculus.
MA-M16 Probability and Statistics for Data Science

This module serves as an introduction to the concepts of probability and statistics required for Data Science. Both the theoretical concepts and practical examples will be explored throughout the module. Particular attention will be paid to applications using a programming language.
MAW301 Dadansoddi Cymhlyg

Mae'r modiwl hwn yn ystyried y theori o ffwythiannau analytig cymhlyg; gan gynnwys cysyniadau o hafaliadau Cauchy-Riemann, cyfresi pwer, cyfresi Laurent a chalcwlws gweddill.
