I joined the school in September 2005 as a research student and completed my PhD in 2010.

I have a BStat degree from Makerere University, a Graduate diploma in Statistics and an MSc(Epidemiology & Population Health) from Australian National University. I am currently a Senior Statistical Epidemiologist at MRC and a DL Tutor at LSHTM.
