Jump to: Affiliations Teaching Publications

I am a public health nutrition researcher, with experience in designing and implementing studies to improve children’s nutrition across the South Asia, Southeast Asia and West Africa regions. My research focuses on two strands: theory-based intervention design and assessment of the commercial determinants of health and nutrition. I bring state of the art expertise in measurement and metrics for diet quality and am keenly interested in evidence-generation and advocacy to strengthen global policy for child diets.
