Background

Infectious Disease Epidemiologist: Senior Research Fellow and Deputy Head, Infectious Disease Epidemiology Unit

I am an infectious disease epidemiologist and current holder of an ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. I undertake research into the transmission and control of Neglected Tropical Diseases with a focus on schistosomiasis, echinococcosis and the soil-transmitted helminths, some of the most prevalent and important parasitic infections that cause much suffering and economic loss worldwide. I aim to develop new public health interventions against these pathogens that will lead to their sustainable control and eventual elimination.
