Senior Research Fellow, University of Bristol
Anya is a behavioural and data scientist at the University of Bristol, UK, where she leads a Transaction Data for Population Health programme funded through UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship (2021-2028). Anya has published over 30 articles in discipline specific (e.g. computer science, psychology, ethics) and general science journals. As a passionate advocate of unlocking large digital footprint datasets for the benefit of society, she works with a wide network of stakeholders both in industry and public sector.
At Bristol, Anya also leads a Digital Footprints Lab, in which the team studies how novel digital footprint data can be used to understand human behaviour and real-life outcomes, such as health. They are currently focusing on transaction data – specifically, loyalty and banking cards – and working on realising the value of using these data to improve population health. They also investigate a range of issues related to public attitudes to data sharing, prosocial behaviour and fundamental questions about individual differences in decision-making and choice.

What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
