Since completing my BSc, I developed research interests in probability and became passionate about coming up with solutions to real-world problems with my skill set. The Department of Mathematics at Swansea University is at the forefront of innovation in this field with a strong research culture. Moreover, among research staff within the department, the areas of expertise include; core disciplines of probability theories and stochastic processes, and interdisciplinary areas of applied statistics and biomathematics. The Department works closely with professional organisations, i.e. London Mathematical Society and Institute and Faculty of Actuaries. My supervisors provided excellent academic supervision and mentoring during my MRes in Stochastic Processes and my PhD in Mathematics, and members of staff were always available for consultations when required. The Department of Mathematics also supports training programmes, resources on research skills and professional development including scientific writing, project management and communication skills. Throughout my time in Swansea, I particularly enjoyed cycling or ambling to Mumbles along the beach, and the quick access among campus, beach and town. I am now holding a statistician post in the Research and Development division in Public Health Wales. I provide advice and leadership on the design and analysis of complex research and evaluation programmes supporting population health. Utilising routinely collected electronic health records and applying mathematical and statistical modelling on big data in health, to help improve understanding of the impact and effectiveness of public health policies and interventions, and eventually save lives.
