About

This site is currently a place I am using to learn about making websites, and a place keep a record of my research in the form of publications, presentations, and links to papers and websites that I have an interest in. Am interested in how the web can be used in the future for health research so thought I would create a website.

I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the School of Population and Public Health, University of British Columbia.  My supervisor is Dr Stirling Bryan and I am based at the Centre for Clinical Epidemiology and Evaluation where he is Director. I am also a Health Economist at the Centre for Health Evaluation and Outcome Sciences in Vancouver Canada.

Bio

I have a BSc in Mathematics and was then a research associate in the Operations Research department at the School of Health and Related Research at the University of Sheffield, UK. I then completed a MSc in Health Services Research and became a research fellow in the Health Economics and Decision Sciences group predominantly working on economic evaluations for projects informing the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). I recently completed my PhD at the University of Sheffield in the UK under the supervision of Dr John Brazier and Dr Aki Tsuchiya focusing on methods for valuing health outcomes.

Research

My research involves informing and making decisions in health. My objectives are to:

• develop new methods
• address areas of health with large decision uncertainty
• engage with collaborators

that help health policy and decision makers to:

• make better decisions
• understand the value of this research
• and ultimately, improve health outcomes of the population

Themes

While these are still developing, themes that are emerging from my research are:

• decision analysis (economic evaluation, harm-benefit analysis)
• measurement and valuation of health outcomes (preference elicitation and measurement, productivity measurement)
• comparative effectiveness (epidemiology, meta-analysis)

Publications and presentations

A full list of my papers are in my formal CV here. To view my papers and presentations, use the drop down menus at the top to search for specific areas, or the search on the right to select multiple categories.

Blog

My blog is just a place where I keep stuff I find that I am interested in.
