I’m really chuffed to have been awarded the SUPRA Supervisor of the Year 2025 for the Faculty of Science. Big thanks to my students for nominating me! Your energy, curiosity and drive make supervision the most rewarding part of my role :)

Interested in spatial statistics for spatial omics data? Check out our new resource: pasta. We show how different technologies lead to different data modalities give and overview of point-pattern and lattice-based spatial analysis. Feedback welcome! arxiv.org/abs/2412.01561

pasta: Pattern Analysis for Spatial Omics Data

Spatial omics assays allow for the molecular characterisation of cells in their spatial context. Notably, the two main technological streams, imaging-based and high-throughput sequencing-based, can gi...

Pro-tip for anyone that attended COMBINE yesterday... You can make your name tag double-sided by slotting your COMBINE name tag into the ABACBS name tag. Saves the awkward flick of the name tag when you introduce yourself to someone new! #abacbs23 #abacbs2023
