I am a health economist with the Health Economics and Systems Analysis (HESA) Group, which is based in the Department of Global Health and Development. I developed an interest in health economics while working at the Ministry of Health, Rwanda on a two-year placement with the Overseas Development Institute Fellowship Scheme.
I joined the school in 2006 and completed my PhD in 2010. I also have a post at the University of Oxford.

My research focuses on health economics issues in developing countries. I have a keen interest in financial incentives, impact evaluation, the economic consequences of ill health, equity in health financing and, more broadly, the interaction between health and development.
My PhD research was based on an evaluation of a nationwide financial incentive programme for maternal health in Nepal. This interest in financial incentives - both demand and supply-side - has continued with research in India and China.
My current research portfolio includes work on sex selection and gender inequality (India), subsidised health insurance and social connections (Ghana), health insurance and provider payment systems (China), and conditional cash transfers (Brazil).
