William Hulme
PhD
Statistical Epidemiologist
- Lead, Epidemiology Team
- Co-lead, OpenSAFELY Vaccine Effectiveness Working Group
I am a statistical epidemiologist at the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, interested in improving how routinely-collected health data can be used for prediction and inference, and improving research transparency and reusability in sensitive data settings.
I lead the Bennett Institute's Epidemiology team.
My recent work has focused on target trial emulation, particularly it's application to evaulating vaccine safety and effectiveness. I co-lead the OpenSAFELY COVID-19 Vaccine Effectiveness Working Group and am Principal Investigator for the NIHR-funded ECHO project.
I am open to discussing proposals for doctoral projects relating to the application of the target trial emulation framework in EHR data, reusuable research pipelines in EHR data, and related topics.
