🚨New publication! The final piece of my PhD was to translate the earlier theoretical work into a free sample size calculator for designing partially clustered trials. Really happy to now see this out there to help researchers plan high quality trials. Paper is linked below ⬇️ Calculator is here:

This week! Prof Ian Marschner from the NHMRC Clinical Trials Centre will be presenting the @vicbiostat.bsky.social seminar on Confidence distributions. All welcome online or in person. Friday 21 November 9:30am AEDT, Monash SPHPM. www.vicbiostat.org.au/event/confid...

Time for some updates! 🎓Celebrated the official end of my PhD journey with graduation from The University of Adelaide. PhDONE! 💼Now fully settled in as a postdoc in the Biostatistics Unit at @sahmri.bsky.social ⚕️Pleased to also be continuing my role supporting clinical research at UofA

I'm looking forward to going to Melbourne for this - it promises to be a great meeting!

📣New publication alert! The latest paper from my PhD is now online at Statistics in Medicine, presenting new sample size formulas for clinical trials that include partial clustering. Really happy to see this work out in the world! 🧵1/4 dx.doi.org/10.1002/sim....

I'm looking for a senior research fellow or research fellow to join my group (the Cluster Cluster!) at Monash University, to develop statistical methodology of adaptive longitudinal cluster randomised trials. Come join us for 3 years in marvellous Melbourne! careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/jo...

New #preprint with @nicolewhite.bsky.social and @tayacollyer.bsky.social. We examined if Australian ethics committees use qualified statistical expertise. Our results revealed a large variation in practice, with some committees using qualified statisticians […] (1 of 4) osf.io/preprints/os...

One of the motivating examples of partial clustering for my PhD research is the inclusion of infants from multiple births in neonatal trials. Kristy Robledo has just published a review of how multiple births are dealt with in these trials - and the news isn't great! 1/2 fn.bmj.com/content/earl...

My PhD research is on statistical issues in partially clustered clinical trials - these are trials that involve both independent and clustered observations. Check out this paper for details on where they occur and how we should be describing them: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... (1/3)
