Overview
With a postgraduate degree in Biostatistics and six years of research experience, I am a dedicated and accomplished Research Assistant (Statistics) at Cardiff University's Centre for Trials Research. My expertise spans statistical analysis, data management, and report writing, cultivated through roles at Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore, and Cardiff University. I have contributed to approximately 20 publications in esteemed journals, reflecting my passion for advancing Biostatistics, particularly in areas like Sparse data, Meta analysis, Bayesian Inference and Machine Learning. Active participation in national and international conferences demonstrates my commitment to knowledge dissemination and collaboration. Possessing strong communication skills, I have mentored students and led workshops, fostering a collaborative and supportive research environment. With a proven track record of success and a commitment to high-quality research, I am poised to make meaningful contributions to the Centre for Trials Research's endeavours.
