About
I am an Epidemiologist with an interest in maximising the strategic potential of health data collected through surveillance and service delivery platforms. I have developed methods that strengthen the infrastructure of national, regional, and global-level public health surveillance platforms.
To maximise the use of data provided by these platforms, I have developed new methods for data linkage, quality improvement, and visualisation, as well as designed new indicators and implemented novel methods to monitor and improve programme performance. I sit on a number of global working and advisory groups, including the UNAIDS Monitoring Technical Advisory Group (to which I have contributed since 2007, and for which I was the inaugural co-chair).
I took up my position at the University of Sheffield in April 2023. I am the Impact lead for ScHARR and Global Health theme lead. I have previously worked at the Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre, the Health Protection Agency, the African Health Research Institute, Public Health England, and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LHSTM).
At LSHTM, I was the director of the Measurement & Surveillance of HIV Epidemics (MeSH) consortium, and co-director of the cross-faculty Centre for Evaluation and the Sustainable Development Goal Health & Wellbeing Research (SDG-HaW) consortium. I retain an honorary position as Associate Professor at LSHTM.
