I am a PhD student at the Health Services Research and Policy Department at LSHTM. My research project seeks to harness recent developments in the fields of causal inference and machine learning and the advent of large observational datasets to estimate treatment effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of health technologies. 

I hold an MSc in Health Economics from the University of York. I am interested in quantitative methods for economic evaluations of health technologies.

I am funded by a NIHR ARC North Thames PhD studentship.
