• 1983 Graduated from the University of Hull with a degree in Mathematics.
• 1991 Returned to higher education studying a PGCE in Further Education at Huddersfield University. Successfully completed and- awardedJuly 1992.  Teaching experience was gained at Kirklees College and Universitat Greissfault, Neubrandenburg, Germany. In September 1992  I began lecturing within the School of Mathematics and Computing at the University of Huddersfield. Lecturing in theoretical and applied Mathematics and Statistics to a wide range of students across the University.
• Having an increasing interest in statistics and, in particular its uses and applications, I completed the MSc (Applied Statistics) with Sheffield Hallam University (1994 to 1997) as a ‘distance learning student’. Completion of which led to the many exciting collaborative works I’ve been involved in with Calderdale and Kirklees Health Authority and more recently in the School of Engineering.
• 2017 awarded Doctor of Philosophy (Engineering) from the University of Huddersfield in recognition of a programme of work entitled ‘Characterisation of condition monitoring information for diagnosis and prognosis using advanced statistical models’. 

• Condition Monitoring-statistical analysis of mechanical systems using vibration signal outputs. Fault detection in reciprocating compressors.
• Modelling System Behaviours.
• Input Volume Reduction Methodologies for Predictive Classifiers.
• Predictive Analytics for Applied Process Monitoring.
• Non-linear Systems Approaches to Detection of Deviant Events.
• Autonomous Abnormality Assessment.
• Evidence based health care.
