United Kingdom
I have a multidisciplinary background in anthropology, demography, and epidemiology. After a spell working in technology, I completed an MSc Demography and Health and PhD in Epidemiology from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). I went on work as a postdoc at both LSHTM and LSE before joining St Andrews as a Lecturer in July 2017.
I am a visiting researcher at the Centre for Fertility and Health (Oslo), and a Faculty member of the International Max Planck Research School for Population, Health and Data Science (MPIDR-PHDS). Since 2023 I am a visiting researcher at the Getulio Vargas Foundation in Sao Paulo (FGV), Brazil, and Associate Researcher at the Antimicrobial Resistance Institute of Sao Paulo.
From April 2024 I am serving as Deputy Director (Training) for the Scottish Graduate School for Social Science, seconded 50% of my time to the University of Edinburgh.
My research interests are in the complex determinants of population health, and I currently lead projects on the social dimensions of antimicrobial resistance and multimorbidity. I primarily use quantitative methods, but am an experienced mixed-methods researcher.
My current projects:
I help deliver the core quantitative methods teaching for undergraduate geography and sustainable development students in St Andrews, and also deliver research-led teaching in demography, population, health inequalities and life course studies.
From 2024 I am working as the Deputy Director (training) for the Scottish Graduate School for Social Science, which works to develop core and specialist training for social science postgraduate students across Scottish universities.
