About Me

I'm a Data and Insight Analyst at the University of Central Lancashire. Officially, my job is to provide data analysis for strategic projects, present our findings to stakeholders, and curate dashboards providing a self-service analytics solution to colleagues. But really? I solve problems.

I recently supported one of the university's self-assessment teams (SAT), building on my experience supporting a departmental Athena SWAN SAT in 2019, where I'm using my data analysis skills to support our application to one of the Advance HE charters.

I completed my Ph.D. in Solar Physics in 2018, focussing on the topology of the magnetic field in the solar corona. As part of this work, we provided a definition for a new topological feature, the Null-like Point (paper published in 2020, available here), along with developing an algorithm for the automatic detection, tracking and analysis of X-ray Bright Points. Currently, I'm working on comparing our work to the methods of another author.
