- Profile
-
I am a professor of mathematical modelling and epidemiology at the School of Health and Related Research (ScHARR), University of Sheffield, 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)
