About
Originally trained as a mechanical engineer, he worked as a diving instructor in Egypt for several years, where he developed his joy for teaching. He did his PhD and several years of post-doctoral research at the Sainsbury laboratory in Cambridge, working as a plant geneticist. There he developed his interest in biostatistics, reproducible research and data visualisation, which he is now putting to use across the courses offered by the Centre.
