Expert Economist in health economics, impact evaluation, applied econometrics, and STATA

Profile Summary

I hold a Ph.D. in Economics from Monash University, Melbourne Australia, with research interests in health economics and applied econometrics, and international development with expertise in impact evaluation. I currently work as a Senior Health Economist in the School of Medicine, University of Nottingham, UK. I provide expert advice for health economics research and other quantitative methods. I have over 14 years of experience undertaking health economics research related to econometric modeling and analysis of real-world data on interventions to reduce health inequalities, improving health behaviors and quality of disease management in primary care. Outputs from my analysis are used to populate cost-effectiveness models. I have well developed technical skills and experience in impact evaluation, working through the design to communicating the findings for policy influence. I have successfully lead several impact evaluation research, using various designs (experimental, quasi-experimental, and non-experimental), and for different sectors, including health, social protection, education, private sector development, microcredit and financial inclusion, and technology adoption. For my analysis, I used mainly STATA software and occasionally, R and Microsoft applications such as Excel. I look forward to supporting you in your research and other academic works.
