I am an assistant Professor in Medical Statistics with a focus in epidemiology and public health evaluation. My primary interest has been in the benefit and harms of medication, devices and intervention; use of secondary data for health research, epidemiology of HIV/AIDS and Malaria in sub-Saharan Africa and in developing and evalauting interventions to address these public health issues.

Teaching
I teach in Analysis of Electronic Medical Records: Causal Inference and Propensity score methods, and the Term 2 module in Evaluation of Public Health Interventions practical. I also teach in Basic Stats for Public Health. I also contribute to tutoring in MSc Public Health.
Research
I specialise in research methodology, evaluation of statistical methods, and quantitative research on evaluation of effectiveness/safety of medications, devices, and interventions; how interventions and policies influence infectious diseases. My research has used a wide array of methods including (cluster) randomised control/clinical trials, systematic reviews, cohort, case-control and cross-sectional studies.
I have use electronic medical records from several countries including USA, Europe (UK, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Denmark) and secondary data from Brazil, Southern and Eastern Africa. I use simulation studies to evaluate statistical/data science methods in epidemiology.
