Overview
I am a Research Fellow in Statistics providing data mining and statistical modeling consultancy across various departments within the university (2013 to at present). I previously worked as a statistician at the University of Plymouth for a lchildhood-diabetes study (2011 to 2013). Before that I worked as an analyst at the City Universtiy, London and in the World Health Organsiation (WHO-Bangladesh).
I have keen interest in methodological issues related to estimating "treatment effect" in the Randomised Control Trials (RCTs) when participants' adherence to the treatment is suboptimal and I have been publishing my own research works around this area. I am also interested in data mining, linear/non-linear longitudinal latent class models and machine-learning techinques.
Over the past years I published several studies with internal and external collaborators and assisted several PHD studies. Please feel free to get in touch if you are an academic/researcher at the university who needs data analytical/statistical support for your research given that the prospective work will have a measurable output i.e., grant proposal, publications etc. Please visit my publication page to see various studies across the university I supported so far.
Programming language: Stata (Preferred), R, SPSS (only to support students)
