Profile

Biography

I am a Lecturer (Research and Teaching) in Global Public Health at the School of Health and Social Care at the University of Essex. I am also Honorary Senior Research Fellow in Epidemiology at the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at University College London (UCL). I am currently an Associate Editor for the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. I have held research posts at UCL and Imperial College London (Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics). I entered global public health as an analyst at the Fogarty International Center (Division of International Science Policy, Planning and Evaluation). As a social and life course epidemiologist (PhD, MSc), I am interested in how socioeconomic position and social relationships, respectively, influence health across the life span. While my pre-doctoral research initially focused on early childhood health, my subsequent research has concentrated on health from mid to later life. My research aims to understand the socio-biological processes of healthy ageing, with a particular interest in mental wellbeing, cognitive health and coronary heart disease. Much of my work is comparative in nature either between countries or between cohorts in a single population. I primarily use data from international cohort studies (such as those in England, Central and Eastern Europe and China), and utilise life course research methodologies, retrospective data harmonization and comparative analytical techniques. Having been an active member of several cross-national research initiatives, I am committed to leading and designing national and cross-national research on social epidemiology. I currently co-supervise two PhD students and so far co-supervised one to successful award. I contribute to two core modules for the MSc Global Public Health programme (FHEA). I am the module convener for Global Health Epidemiology and teach on Social Determinants of Health. I also act as dissertation supervisor and personal tutor. I became involved in teaching epidemiology, biostatistics, and the social determinants of health for the MSc programmes in Population Health and Social Epidemiology at University College London. For these programmes, I supervised multiple Masters dissertations and tutored many students. I also led the MSc module on Ethnicity, Migration and Health at University College London for four years.
