Marc has worked as a statistical researcher at the Universities of Nottingham and Sheffield, and the US National Institute of Statistical Sciences. He has expertise in the analysis of computer simulation models and has developed specialist tools and software for sensitivity analysis, uncertainty analysis and calibration of complex models.
Marc has worked as a statistical researcher at the Universities of Nottingham and Sheffield, and the US National Institute of Statistical Sciences. He has expertise in the analysis of computer simulation models and has developed specialist tools and software for sensitivity analysis, uncertainty analysis and calibration of complex models. Applications have included engineering, carbon dynamics, hydrology, ecology, food safety and atmospheric dispersion. Since 2006 he has worked as statistician and risk analyst at Fera, mainly on EU projects for exposure to mixtures of pesticides from dietary residues and crop spraying, risk-benefit analysis and Total Diet Studies.
Marc has contributed to expert working groups for the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI – Europe). He has contributed to 3 EFSA opinions including guidance on probabilistic modelling for dietary exposure assessments. He has over 50 peer-reviewed papers and 3 book chapters, with around 5000 citations. He is a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) and has served on the Environmental Statistics Section of the RSS.
Fera offers a suite of crop health services, resources, testing facilities and expertise to help farmers, growers and the food industry to improve yields, reduce costs and develop sustainable solutions.
