Biography
Iryna joined St Hilda’s in October 2023 as a lecturer in mathematics (statistics). Her current teaching includes first- and second-year papers in statistics and probability, and she is also interested in promoting the use of the R statistical software.
Iryna is a Senior Statistical Analyst based in Student Data Insights, which is part of the University’s Education Policy Support team. As her job title and team name suggest, her work involves providing statistical insights into linked data, identifying and explaining patterns in student outcomes.
Iryna has been with the University for far longer than she cares to admit. She completed an MMath and a DPhil in Functional Analysis (at St Hilda’s!), and then worked as a senior researcher in the Medical Sciences Division (NDPH, NDM). In her past roles, she was interested in modelling long-term outcomes and socioeconomic aspects of chronic diseases, as well as infectious disease outbreaks, with a particular emphasis on using large clinical trials and/or routinely collected data. She has also taught pure mathematics, medical statistics and LaTeX.
