I am an Associate Professor at Imperial College London, supported by an Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Fellowship. I am based within Imperial's AI Initiative, I-X, and am part of the MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis.
I studied Natural Sciences and completed a master’s degree in Systems Biology at Cambridge. My PhD at Imperial explored how parasite genetic information can inform malaria transmission modelling, including questions about diagnostic and antimalarial resistance.
Previously, I was a Schmidt Science Fellow at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, working with Francesco Checchi on mortality estimation.
I use mathematical models to understand infectious disease transmission and estimate mortality where vital registration is limited. My work spans malaria drug and diagnostic resistance, pandemic preparedness and vaccine impact, and mortality estimation in humanitarian settings.
