BIO
I began working as a health economist with LSHTM in 2001 and since that time have worked primarily on economic evaluation, equity, economics of malaria and health care financing in low and middle income countries. Prior to coming to the school I worked in a health economics research unit at The University of Sydney, Australia where I collaborated on a range of health economics projects focusing on indigenous health care financing and priority setting in health care. I am currently based in Sydney and have a joint position as Professor of Health Economics at the Kirby Institute, University of New South Wales. I am a current recipient of an Investigator Grant/Fellowship from the Australian National Health & Medical Research Council.
