About

I am a Professor of Statistics in the Statistical Laboratory, Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics (DPMMS) at University of Cambridge and a Fellow of the Corpus Christi College.

My research interests lie primarily in drawing scientific conclusions about causal relationships using experimental and observational data, a fast-growing area known as “causal inference”. More broadly, I would like to understand how “design”—a principle I view as fundamental yet elusive in statistics—shapes the practice of statistical applications in biomedical and social sciences.
