Teaching
I am the organiser of two modules: Statistical Computing in the MSc in Medical Statistics, and Programming in the MSc in Health Data Science. In addition, I coordinate workshops on the R software for the Talent and Educational Development (LSHTM staff) and Transferrable Skills Programme (LSHTM research degree students). I am responsible for lecture and practical sessions on time series methods within the Environmental Epidemiology module of the MSc in Public Health, the Advanced Regression Methods module of the MSc in Medical Statistics, and the Evaluation of Public Health Interventions within the MSc in Public Health. I am also responsible for the session on Planetary Health Impact Drivers from Air Pollution and Temperature within the module Methods in Climate Change and Planetary Health of the MSc in Climate Change & Planetary Health.
Research
At LSHTM, I lead the Environment & Health Modelling (EHM) Lab, a research team with complementary expertise in biostatistics, epidemiology, data science, and climatology. I am the Co-Director of the Centre For Data and Statistical Science for Health, a centre that brings together LSHTM's established expertise in statistical methodology with novel research opportunities in health data science.
My interests encompass various research areas in epidemiology and public health evaluation, primarily focusing on methodology, applied research, and software implementation. My work focuses on the development of study designs, statistical methods and health data science resources. I have contributed to the development and extensions of several statistical techniques, such as distributed lag models, smoothing methods, and meta-analytical models. I have applied these methodologies in various settings, in particular to time series methods, quasi-experimental studies, climate change health impact assessment, environmental spatio-temporal modelling, and small-area analysis. I am a strong advocate of open science and reproducible research, and I have contributed to the implementation of statistical methods in freely available software and with the release of code in public repositories.
