I am a Bloomsbury Colleges-funded PhD candidate at the Communicable Diseases Policy Research Group, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). I am interested in "One Health" approaches to understanding and mitigating infectious disease emergence and spread in human and animal populations. My current research centers on characterising the role of the swine production system and associated swine movement/trade networks in the emergence and transmission of influenza A viruses in Cambodia.
I hold an MSc in Veterinary Epidemiology (Royal Veterinary College and LSHTM) and a BSc in Biomedical Science (University of the West of England). Prior to joining LSHTM in 2019, I was a molecular biology research technician at the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) researching the host range, virulence, and molecular epidemiology of amphibian ranaviruses.
