I am a medical geographer with research interests in vector borne diseases, particularly malaria. As well as a general interest in spatial epidemiology, my work focuses on issues around disease surveillance and M&E in epidemic/low-endemic settings. Much of this work is centred on the highlands of Kenya, although I am involved with a number of projects elsewhere in Africa and in SE Asia.
