Publications

My main area of research is in extreme value theory, leading to publications in the mainstream statistics literature and more specialised journals in the field of extremes.

I also collaborate with colleagues in the Transport Operations Research Group and the Food and Human Nutrition Research Centre, leading to publications/reports in more applied journals.
