PhD Statistics · MSc Statistics · BSc Hons. Mathematics & Physics
I am a statistician and independent analyst specializing in risk-benefit analysis, uncertainty quantification, and the critical evaluation of statistical claims used in public policy.
My work focuses on exposing how flawed data, modeling, and statistical methods were used to justify COVID-19 vaccine mandates, passports, and related policies in Canada. I provide clear, rigorous, and accessible analysis of the evidence behind these policies.
I launched the StatsCritic newsletter because I believe independent statistical scrutiny is essential for holding powerful institutions and researchers accountable. My goal is to make complex analyses accessible so that litigants, advocates, and everyday Canadians have the tools and framing they need to understand what happened and defend their rights.
I am launching the COVID Charter Initiative, a new series that will examine these mandates through the lens of sections 7 and 1 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
I am the author of Fisman’s Fraud and the preprint “Unreliable Evidence: Flawed Vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated Comparisons in Canada’s COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates” (link-to-preprint).
