Epidemiology PhD Student, University of Bristol
I am a Wellcome-funded epidemiology PhD student at the University of Bristol. My PhD explores the effects of the daylight saving time clock changes on sleep duration (using UK Biobank accelerometer data), as well as the effects of the clock changes on cardiovascular disease, depression and road traffic injuries (using GP, hospital admissions and A&E data from England). During my PhD I have also compared UK Biobank participants' self-reported insomnia to insomnia symptoms in their linked primary care records in order to explore the use of electronic health records to study sleep disorders. I am passionate about the use of electronic health records in epidemiology, women’s health and cancer prevention.
