BIO

I am an Associate Professor of Nutrition at LSHTM and co-director of the Global Health Economics Centre (GHECO). My work focuses on ensuring people's right to food and eliminating hunger worldwide. Primarily, my work involves co-designing and evaluating complex nutrition programs and policies, including ecological, agricultural, social, behavioural, and food-based interventions. I am especially interested in bridging nutrition and economics disciplines to improve our understandings of social inequities within and between households, and to understand how inequities can be redressed to improve nutrition policy and outcomes.
