Lucy (she/her)
Hi! My name is Lucy and I’m a PhD student at the University of Kent. I’m originally from Northern Ireland and completed an MMath at the University of Dundee. While my research lies within statistical ecology, I work with human populations instead of animals – more specifically, I am modelling human populations using capture-recapture models.
