I have a background in epidemiology and a PhD health economics. My work is mainly in the area of economic and impact evaluation, with a practical focus on model-based analyses for supporting decision-making and resource allocation in low- and middle-income countries. I have been based in Zambia since 2012.

Teaching

I am the Module Organiser for the Economic Evaluation distance learning module and a final project supervisor for the MSc Public Health (Distance Learning). I also assisted with the development of the online Health Economics and Financing in Low and Middle Income Countries open access course.

Research

Currently, I am working on two projects that aim to quantify the resources needed by health systems to adapt to climate change. The REACH project, in Brazil and Zambia, uses complexity science methods to inform the costing and modelling of interventions for strengthening maternal and child health services; The SPRINGS project will assess cost-effectiveness of interventions to mitigate the impact of climate change on enteric disease in Ghana and Romania, helping to expand the Health Technology Assessment framework to support priority setting for climate change.

Other current projects include a cost-effectiveness modelling analysis of multipurpose prevention technologies (HIV + contraception) that are at various stages in the product development pipeline; a cost-effectiveness analysis of integrating STI testing in antenatal care in Zimbabwe; and coordinating a modelling analysis to estimate the economic impact of antimicrobial resistance in Zambia and Malawi.
