Before re-joining the School in 2007, I worked for the South African Medical Research Council, the Reproductive Health Research Unit (University of Witwatersrand), Statistics South Africa and the Epidemiology Research Unit (Johannesburg). My main research interest is in malaria epidemiology and evaluation of interventions in particular.

I was president of the South African Statistical Association in 2006/7.

Affiliation

• Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology

Teaching

I am projects organiser for the Distance Learning MSc in Epidemiology. I teach on the Intensive Course in Epidemiology and Medical Statistics, and on the study unit Statistical Methods in Epidemiology.

Research

Currently my main research focus is the evaluation of comprehensive malaria control interventions. I have been working on the Bioko Island Malaria Control Project (Equatorial Guinea) since its inception in 2003 and other similar projects in Sub-Saharan Africa. I am also interested in spatial modelling and mapping of the geographical distribution of diseases for the purpose of monitoring changes in disease burden.
