I am a statistician in the International Statistics and Epidemiology Group (ISEG), with the majority of my current work being to support a wide range of studies in the International Centre for Eye Health (ICEH). I have also worked in HIV research, primarily as a statistician on the PopART cluster randomized trial of Universal Testing and Treatment, and in the maternal health group looking at the roles of the public and private health care in maternal and newborn health.
