I have been working in the MRC Tropical Epidemiology Group within the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology at LSHTM since July 2005. Prior to this I was a research associate at Imperial College London working on the government run UK badger culling trial. I completed a PhD in statistics at the University of Strathclyde and an undergraduate degree in statistics at the University of Canterbury.

Teaching

I teach on the in-house Msc courses Statistics for Epidemiology and Population Health (STEPH) and Advanced Statistical Methods in Epidemiology (ASME). I co-organise the summer projects for the distance learning (DL) Epidemiology MSc with Isolde Birdthistle and Suzanna Francis.

Research

My research interests are in child health and nutrition. I currently work on three projects. These are malaria surveys in Equatorial Guinea, malaria trials in East Africa; and the NUSTART trial in Zambia and Tanzania. I have previously been involved with a number of projects including investigating the effect of Vitamin D supplementation on the hospitalisation rates of infants up to six months of age in Dehli, improving TB cure rates in Senegal by decentralising care, investigating the epidemiology of rotavirus in an urban slum in India and trying to improve child growth by giving fortified porridge to infants in Zambia in an RCT.
