| Lisha Deng |  | | Lisha Deng is a PhD student at the University of Lancaster, supervised by Professor Peter Diggle and Professor Andrew Smith. Before joining the Lancaster Patient Safety Research unit, Lisha studied for a BSc (First Class Hons) in MORSE (Mathematics, Operational Research, Statistics and Economics) in University of Warwick and an MSc in Applied Statistics in the University of Oxford. Lisha’s research concentrates in the use of statistical modelling in finding the underlying patterns of patient-safety related data. Her previous work used incident reporting system within an Acute NHS Trust to model the time series of past incident in order to investigate the factors which influence the rate of the incidence. In addition to that, Lisha used Point Process model to investigate the rates of incidences of MRSA cases from a north western hospital (i.e. the overall trend of the rate of incidences, the effects intervention policies on the rates etc). | Her current research aims to develop a Bivariate Point Process model for data arising from two different types of infectious diseases that may nevertheless be correlated. |
