I obtained a PhD from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in 2008 and joined to DHSRP in 2009. Previously, I worked at school as a research assistant, contributing to some projects in different departments. I am also part of the Federal University of Bahia team (Instituto de Saude Coletiva) where I have been involved in evaluations of complex interventions, organising and delivering lectures and seminars.

Affiliation

• Department of Health Services Research and Policy

Teaching

I am a guest lecturer for the Economic Analysis for Health Policy module and a seminar leader and tutor for Introduction to Health Economics, in-house course and distance learning, and a tutor for the UNICEF short course "Health Policy & Financing: Achieving Results for Children".

Research

I have a considerable experience in costing analysis and cost-effectiveness analysis in Brazil, the United Kingdom and in Africa. I led the economic analysis for the Evidence to Policy Initiative (E2Pi) study that aimed to build economic, financial and epidemiological evidence on the benefits of sustaining malaria control in countries that have reached a state of controlled low-endemic malaria (CLM), and to catalyze concrete actions toward ensuring financial sustainability for malaria control. This Gates funded project was co-ordinated by the Global Health Group at University of California, San Francisco and the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI): www.MaintainTheGains.org. I was also part of a multi-institutional study aimed to reduce the risk of Escherichia Coli O157 in rural communities in the United Kingdom, a project funded by The Rural Economy and Land Use Programme and the Economic and Social Research Council: http://www.abdn.ac.uk/reluecoliproject. Recently, I joined the CASCADE group, a clinical and research collaboration between the University College London Hospitals and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine that aims to evaluate effective delivery and cost effectiveness of an innovative structured psycho-educational programme (CASCADE) for young people and their families living with diabetes. My PhD concerned a behavioural economics model that combined economic and psychology theories, and econometrics and statistical techniques to understand the cognitive processes that individuals use to judge future events and make choices.
