About:

My work focusses on the spatial epidemiology of NTDs. By linking infection data with remotely sensed climate, environment, and socio-demographic factors, I use disease modelling approaches to build maps that predict disease in areas without survey data and delineate areas of highest risk. I also have extensive experience in conducting operational field research in rural communities in Africa.

Expertise: Geospatial modelling, Community trials, Epidemiology, Operational field research
