I work at the intersection of statistical data-science and environmental decision-making, specialising in statistical analysis, geo-spatial modelling and data analytics for legal, environmental, governmental and commercial clients.

I have worked as an environmental data science and statistical consultant for a range of commercial, governmental, and litigation clients. The majority of my consulting work has focused on statistical data analysis for litigation clients in environmental, governmental, and commercial cases, with some work for clients in industry. I worked as Chief Science Advisor for an environmental geospatial data-science start-up company based in Finland. I maintain an active interest in sustainability research as a Visiting Researcher at The University of Helsinki.

In the field of environmental law, I have built databases, produced logical frameworks, and performed statistical and geospatial data analyses for environmental litigators handling cases under state and federal law. These cases have influenced political decision-making at state and federal levels. In some of the more notable commercial cases I have provided the statistical analysis of consumer records for a federal regulator investigating multi-billion-dollar companies, conducted a statistical analysis of consumer financial and housing market data for a class action on structural changes in a particular housing markets.

I have enjoyed my roles as a statistical and geospatial data-science consultant, adapting and diversifying numerical and scientific coding expertise developed during my PhD (Physics) and refined through several postdoctoral positions as a researcher in ecological modelling and sustainability optimisation.
