I joined LSHTM in 2019 as a health economics PhD student. My Research focuses on economic evaluation of malaria prevention strategies in Uganda. I hold a Master's degree in Global Health and Environment (2013) from the University of California, Berkeley. I have been based in Uganda since 2013, working on malaria and HIV/AIDs clinical trials as a program manager with University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and Infectious Diseases Research Collaboration. My PhD supervisors are Catherine Pitt, Sarah Staedke (Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine) and Grant Dorsey (UCSF),

Research

My PhD aims to inform resource-allocation decisions about malaria control in Uganda and elsewhere in sub-Saharan Africa by generating evidence on the cost, efficiency and equity of innovative vector control strategies. I am current the lead investigator for the economic components of the Uganda Housing Modification Study (CDC/USAID funded) and the LLIN Evaluation in Uganda Project (LLINEUP2, NIH funded) trials. My research interests cover economics of malaria, equity-informative economic evaluation and health technology assessment in low-income settings.
