George Institute for Global Health

I am a Biostatistician at The George Institute for Global Health and a Conjoint Lecturer within the Faculty of Medicine and Health at UNSW, with over 19 years of experience in public health research. I have worked across a broad spectrum of study designs, including observational studies using linked administrative health data and randomized controlled trials in areas such as nutrition, infectious diseases, health systems, and non-communicable diseases. My research interests lie in applying advanced multivariate statistical methods to explore complex epidemiological questions and generate insights that inform policy and practice in population health.
