Matilda Pitt

PhD Candidate in Biostatistics at the MRC BSU, University of Cambridge

Welcome

I am a 3rd Year PhD student researching statistical methods for the analysis of Electronic Health Records, in particular in the area of Survival analysis.

I previously worked at City St Georges', University of London and studied at McMaster University and Durham University.

I am also enthusiastic about public engagement in (bio)statistics and keen to participate and expand Early Career Researcher communities.
