Dr Jakob Petersen
PhD
Research Fellow
I am working on the evaluation of a scheme to improve the quality of rental housing. The study is funded through NIHR School for Public Health Research and is carried out in collaboration with Hackney Borough of London.
I have a background in health research and quantitative analysis covering a variety of areas (epidemiology, infectious disease surveillance, geographical analysis, population studies).
Since graduating in 2009 with a PhD in health geography (UCL), I have gained experience with the design and implementation of epidemiological studies including health surveys and observational studies with data on GP consultations, hospital admissions, screening and health check programmes, prescriptions, and vaccinations. I have a background in both research and regulation and have worked for several public health organisations and a large household survey.
