I  am co-investigator of a five-year European Commission funded study exploring scaling-up  of mental health interventions for Syrian refugees in countries neighboring Syria and in Europe, led by Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. I'm involved in research evaluating NCD interventions in humanitarian crises with Médecins Sans Frontières. I've also recently been involved in a study examining the burden of mental disorders and access to care for internally displaced persons in Ukraine.

Recently completed projects include: a study on determinants of mental health of internally displaced persons in Georgia; a systematic review evaluating public health research priorities in humanitarian crises; and a study on economic crises and health resilience. My previous research has included projects on: trends in health and harmful health behaviours in the former Soviet Union; developing and validating a new method to estimate mortality in conflict-affected and resource-poor settings; and the influence of armed conflict and forced migration on mental health in South Sudan and northern Uganda. Funders for my research have included the Wellcome Trust, ESRC, DFID, the European Commission, and AED/USAID.
