Presenter Profile

I am a Maths & Statistics support lecturer in the Maths Learning Centre at De Montfort University, Leicester.

I help students with both mathematics and statistics queries. I am the lead lecturer for statistics support. Most degrees involve statistical analysis at some stage, whether it is understanding statistics reported in literature, designing and analysing a questionnaire or more involved statistical hypothesis tests. Choosing the right statistical test and using SPSS are frequent subjects that come up.

If students need help with statistics it is most likely me they will see for a tutorial or at one of our regular drop-ins. I support researchers as well as undergraduates and provide statistics workshops for modules across a broad range of degree programmes. I have a lot of experience in helping students with a very wide range of backgrounds; if you’re unsure about statistics at any level, you’re not alone!

My background is in applied mathematics. My Ph.D. was in modelling and robust control of systems with nonlinear and uncertain dynamics in an aerospace context. I have been teaching mathematics at different levels for over 20 years. I have been a programme lead for foundation pathways in science and engineering and a course writer and developer for several institutions.
