I am an expert macroeconomic simulation modeller and have 25 years of experience in development and health economics research. I hold degrees in Mathematics and Economics (MSc) and Development Economics (PhD) from University of Copenhagen. Before joining LSHTM in September 2016, I worked at University of Copenhagen for more than 20 years.

Teaching
My teaching roles include Module Organiser for the school's distance learning module in Economic Analysis for Health Policy, MSc Project tutor for the school's Public Health distance learning stream, and PhD supervisor.
Research
I have authored a number of academic journal articles with a focus on macroeconomic simulation modelling and full model integration of macroeconomic and epidemiological models.
I have been lead modeller and PI on a range of projects covering economic development and poverty alleviation strategies, middle-income country financial sector development strategies, labour market adjustment strategies, agricultural trade policies, road infrastructure policies, and national accounts construction.
Over the past decade, my research has focussed on health and the measurement of disease burdens and policy impacts on infectious and non-communicable diseases including malaria and HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa, Alzheimer’s Disease in China, Covid-19 in Pakistan and the UK, TB in India, and dietary-related illnesses in South, South East, and East Asia, and policy analyses of child work in Myanmar.
My methodological focus is the application of Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models, and the construction of fully integrated macroeconomic-epidemiological-demographic simulation model frameworks.
