BIO
I am broadly interested in how global change and socioeconomic inequalities affect health. Specifically, my research applies mathematical modelling to understand the importance of different drivers and intervention strategies on infectious disease transmission. I am currently a research associate in the malaria modelling group, where I have been applying entomological data to predict the epidemiological impact of novel dual active ingredient insecticide treated nets. I completed my PhD in the MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis, under the supervision of Thomas Churcher and Ben Lambert. During my PhD I investigated how potential changes in the extrinsic incubation period due to global heating could impact on entomological measures of malaria transmission. Prior to this, I gained First class honours in Biology BSc from Imperial College London, spent many years beach lifeguarding at home in Devon and abroad, before working at a specialist consultancy for a number of years.
