- Profile
-
I am a professor of mathematical modelling and epidemiology at the School of Health and Related Research (ScHARR), University of ºù«Ӱҵ, UK, which I joined in 2013. I originally studied mathematics at Girton College, Cambridge before doing my PhD in theoretical physics at Imperial College London. I also have an Open degree from the OU for which I mainly studied biological subjects. After my PhD, I worked on infectious disease modelling as a post-doc at Imperial College London, and then at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. I currently hold a career development award fellowship from the UK Medical Research Council.
- Research interests
-
My research uses mathematical and statistical models to understand the epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB), and the impact and cost-effectiveness of interventions to improve TB control.
- Infectious disease modelling
- Burden estimation
- The epidemiology of TB, particularly in settings with high-HIV prevalence, and population-level TB interventions
- TB in children & interventions to improve case detection
- Drug-resistant TB
- Individual-based modelling methodologies
- Methods for model calibration and uncertainty analysis
Projects
I am involved with the following projects:
- Mathematical modelling for TB burden estimation (MRC)
- TBSPEED and Cap-TB projects on interventions for paediatric TB (UNITAID)
- TREATS: Tuberculosis Reduction through Expanded Antiretroviral Treatment and Screening for active TB (EDCTP)
- The Sustainable community action for lung health (SCALE) trial

I am involved in teaching on the MPH and MBchB courses at the University of ºù«Ӱҵ, particularly supervising projects. I am also a PhD supervisor in the Wellcome Trust Public Health Economics & Decision Science doctoral training centre.
- Professional activities and memberships
-
I am a member of the Operational Research Society, the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, the Royal Statistical Society (and a chartered statistician), and the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease.
I am a member of the WHO Global Task Force on TB Impact Measurement and a member of the steering committee for the NIHR ADVANCE programme grant. I serve as an associate editor for the journals BMC Infectious Diseases and BMC Public Health, and am on the editorial board of PLoS ONE. I am a mentor in the faculty mentoring scheme and a mathematics tutor for the charity.
