Profile

I am a mixed methods researcher based in the SCHARR Outcomes team.

I joined University of Sheffield in 2008 following my PhD in economics at Imperial College, London. Between 2020 and 2023 I worked at the University of Melbourne where I continue to hold an honorary position.


 

Research interests

My research interests fall into four main areas:

1. Measuring and valuing health and wellbeing. Including instrument development, qualitative research, psychometric data analysis and collecting and modelling preference data used to generate Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs).
2. Exploring the determinants of wellbeing, and use of wellbeing and subjective wellbeing as an outcome measure for public policy evaluation and priority setting.
3. Economic evaluation; specifically identifying and using utility values within health technology appraisal (HTA).
4. Understanding the social value of health gains and public preferences towards the distribution of health gains.
