Epidemiologist and Research Fellow in the Department of Non-Communicable Disease Epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM).

My research focuses on ageing, frailty, brain health and infectious diseases, with particular expertise in the analysis of large-scale electronic health records and longitudinal health data. I am a member of the Brain Health Group within the Electronic Health Records Research Group at LSHTM. My current research investigates the relationships between infections, frailty and brain health in older adults in the UK and US.

I hold an MSc in Epidemiology from the University of the Witwatersrand and a PhD in Public Health from the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. I contribute to teaching across intensive, distance-learning and short-course programmes in epidemiology, medical statistics, sexual and reproductive health policy, electronic health records research and pharmacoepidemiology.
