Dr Suzy Whoriskey
Knowledge Exchange Fellow
Mathematics and Statistics
Personal statement
I completed the MSci in Statistics with Work Placement degree from the University of Glasgow in 2015. 聽The year I spent working in the costing team of the Information Services Division of NHS Scotland provided me with insights into how statistical methodology was applied in a real-world setting. 聽I continued studying at the University of Glasgow to complete my PhD in Statistical Genetics.
Following my studies, I took an Assistant Professor post in the Mathematics and Statistics department at University College Dublin (UCD). 聽I then obtained a Postdoctoral Researcher position within the Insight Centre for Data Analytics at UCD, funded by SFI. 聽I worked with Prof. Claire Gormley to develop novel statistical methods for high-dimensional data. 聽This was motivated by a neuroscience problem in improving the diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease using spectroscopy data from blood samples. 聽During my time at UCD, I built a strong network of external collaborators and I enjoyed applying my skills to applied problems.
I am now the Director of Knowledge Exchange in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics in the 糖心视频. 聽
