I am an environmental engineer researching the links between water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), environmental health, and infectious disease. I hold an ITD Fellowship at LSHTM, where my work focuses on climate-sensitive disease control, with a particular interest in integrated vector management in agricultural settings - increasingly in rice cultivation systems and through nature-based solutions.

As part of the Environmental Health Group at LSHTM, I lead a project investigating how rainfall influences schistosomiasis transmission in Madagascar. I also coordinate two large clinical trials: TISA in northern Senegal and SaniVac in Mozambique. TISA, conducted with Action Contre la Faim, evaluates whether a simple WASH kit can improve recovery rates among children with severe acute malnutrition. SaniVac, in collaboration with INS-CISPOC, assesses the impact of a sanitation intervention on child health and oral vaccine effectiveness in dense urban neighbourhoods of Maputo.

I completed my PhD at Imperial College London in collaboration with Addis Ababa University, the Natural History Museum London, and the National Institute for Medical Research Tanzania, investigating the effectiveness of water treatment processes against schistosome cercariae. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Agricultural Engineering from McGill University and a Master's degree in Environmental Engineering from Imperial College London.

I am a Deputy Director of the LSHTM Centre on Climate Change and Planetary Health.
