About

I am a Teaching Associate in the Department of Management Science at Strathclyde Business School, University of Strathclyde. My research sits at the intersection of computational text analysis, Bayesian statistics, and applied econometrics, with a focus on how narratives emerge and diffuse across institutional and policy contexts.

I am a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society and serve on the RSS Glasgow Local Group committee. I co-organise the Strathclyde Text Analytics Group, an interdisciplinary seminar series spanning computational linguistics, finance, economics, management, political science and computer science.

Working Papers

• A Statistical Framework for Detecting Emergent Narratives in Longitudinal Text Corpora (with J. Quigley and M. Revie). arXiv:2602.20939
• Are we speaking the same language? : Using topic models to shed light on research utilization issues between entrepreneurial ecosystem scholars and policy-makers (with S. Green)
• A simulation study of topic model performance under varying corpus conditions (with J. Quigley and M. Revie)

Research Interests

• Computational text analysis and natural language processing
• Statistical learning for high-dimensional, unstructured datasets
• Bayesian modelling and econometrics
• Risk analysis and management

Teaching

I lead quantitative modules for undergraduate and postgraduate degrees across Strathclyde Business School (Departments of Management Science, Accounting & Finance, Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship, Strategy and Innovation) and the School of Engineering (Departments of Chemical, Civil and Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering).

Supervision

I have supervised 18 postgraduate dissertations, and 3 undergraduate dissertations.
