I joined the School in December 2020. I am an infectious disease epidemiologist and modeller currently working with the Vaccine Impact Modelling Consortium and various stakeholders on measles vaccination in low- and middle-income settings. Prior to this, I focused on the epidemiology, vaccination, and control strategies of tuberculosis (TB), both in Taiwan and at the global level, at Imperial College London. I also participated in research on coronavirus disease 2019, in particular estimating the excess TB burden relating to health service disruption during a lockdown.

I am a co-lead of the Modelling and Economic Evaluation of Vaccines (MEEV) research theme at the Centre for Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases.
