I have worked at LSHTM since 2005 on a variety of projects mainly related to the theme of social determinants of health in populations in transition. During this time I also completed my PhD which explored the factors influencing the physical and mental health of internally displaced persons in northern Uganda, using quantitative and qualitative research methods. Prior to joining LSHTM I was involved in supporting reproductive health and HIV/AIDS programmes in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Uganda amongst others.

Teaching

I am the organiser for the Issues in Public Health module, and co-organise the Conflict and Health module. I also teach on the Global Mental Health module and the Diploma in Tropical Nursing. I am currently supervising two PhD students.

Research

I am interested in social influences on health, particularly in transitional settings. My current research focuses on long-term trends of population health as a consequence of socioeconomic transitions in the former Soviet Union. This research uses data from household surveys and community profiling methods. I am also leading a project exploring community-level influences on mental health and alcohol use amongst internally displaced persons in Georgia. My previous research has included exploring social determinants of physical and mental health of conflict-affected populations in northern Uganda and South Sudan; and developing and validating a new method to estimate mortality in conflict-affected and resource-poor settings. I have also worked on health policy and health system issues in conflict-affected and transitional countries.
