Nicholas Peckham
OCTRU Senior Medical Statistician
I am a senior medical statistician currently working on the design, conduct and analysis of clinical trials. I am part of the Oxford Clinical Trials Research Unit, and the Centre for Statistics in Medicine, where I provide statistical input and report writing for a variety of clinical trials. I am interested in trial methodology, hierarchical models, and experimental designs. I also teach the programming language Stata and occasionally help with the running of other statistical sessions.
I obtained an MSc in Statistics with Distinction from the University of Kent in 2018. I have an interest in the practical applications of statistics in reducing the burden of disease. For my dissertation, I assessed the suitability of using clustering algorithms to group countries together based on risk factors for non-communicable diseases. I have a BSc in Physics from the University of Leicester, where I graduated in 2015.
Outside of work, I enjoy playing football, rock climbing, chess and pub quizzes.
