I obtained my first degree in Mathematics and Statistics from Queen Mary, University of London and went on to obtain a Master's Degree in Computer Studies from the University of Essex. I made use of both of these degrees in my PhD entitled "A Statistical Model of Internet Traffic" which I obtained from Queen Mary, University of London sponsored by British Telecommunications.
Before moving to LSHTM in August 2007, I worked as a Research Associate at the University of East Anglia from 2003 where I was involved in several research contracts which included studies of cost-effectiveness of wart treatment, a health needs assessment for Blundeston Prison, contamination in trials of educational interventions and the macro-economic impact of SARS and influenza.
Affiliation
Teaching
I am a Co-organiser and tutor for the Basic Mathematics support sessions, Deputy Module Organiser for the school's new distance learning module in the Economics of Global Health Policy and I tutor on the Health Policy, Planning and Finance M.Sc.
Research
My current research is focused on the study and estimation of the macro-economic impact of health disorders. My areas of interest include infectious and communicable diseases such as SARS, influenza, antibiotic resistance and malaria and also non-communicable disease modelling and its implications for agriculture, food and trade. I am also interested in health-related applications of Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) Modelling with GAMS and I am currently involved in an MRC funded project to develop these models.
