Staff Profile

I am a research assistant at the Population Health Sciences Institute. The key part of my role involves conducting model-based economic evaluations. I am also involved in systematic reviews and other evidence synthesis projects. My background is in Economics and I did a Masters in Health Services Research, however, I am interested in work that cuts across different disciplines. 

I am currently doing a PhD on evaluating the effects of social security benefits on mental health. The study is based on a quasi-natural approach and thus relies on econometric techniques. I believe that by knowing how to manipulate both population and individual level data, I will become a well rounded economist, with an ability to build complex models and solve important public health problems.

The key areas of my research involve model-based economic evaluations, systematic reviews and longitudinal data analysis.
