My research interests lie at the intersection of development, behavioural and health economics. Most of my work focuses on the evaluation of interventions aimed at improving health and economic outcomes for women and children in low and middle income countries. 

I currently co-lead the impact evaluation of a school-based intervention to prevent violence against children in schools in Nyarugusu refugee camp in Kigoma, Tanzania (PVACS). I am also involved in a mixed-methods study to develop and evaluate a violence prevention intervention in Catholic schools in Zimbabwe (CCSS-Z).

Previous work at LSHTM included two field experiments assessing the impact of information and social accountability interventions on the demand for maternal and child health care in rural India and a study aimed at measuring and understanding context effects in relation to self-reported measures of subjective wellbeing among women in rural villages of Uttar Pradesh. These studies were part of the Maternal healthcare markets Evaluation Team.

More recently I have also been involved in a study exploring the global patterns, determinants, and regional drivers of human trafficking and exploitation using IOM’s Trafficked Migrants’ Assistance Database (TMAD).
