Overview
Background
As a biostatistician with expertise in dental public health, Christopher is interested in updating the evidence on the impact of policies on oral health and promoting evidence-based dentistry. His research has focused on the effectiveness of water fluoridation in Queensland and its impact on oral epidemiology. Christopher has extensive experience in the application of statistical methods, including designing sampling methods, quantitative data analysis methods, geospatial analysis, statistical programming, data visualization, and multi-level data analysis.
