Summary

My research interests involve developing new mathematical models, statistical methods, and surveillance tools to characterise HIV epidemic trends, transmission dynamics, and the demographic impacts of HIV epidemics in sub-Saharan Africa.

I co-chair the secretariat of the UNAIDS Reference Group on Estimates, Modelling, and Projections, a global scientific advisory group who provide scientific and technical guidance to UNAIDS and partner organisations on the data and methods used to develop global HIV estimates.

Our HIV Inference Research Group collaborates with the RESIDE-IC Research Software Engineering group in the MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis. We develop mathematical models and software tools supported by UNAIDS for national HIV programmes in sub-Saharan Africa to estimate HIV incidence trends, develop district-level HIV estimates, and track progress towards HIV testing and treatment targets.

I have a longstanding interest the collection analysis of longitudinal population cohort data. I work extensively with the Manicaland Centre for Public Health Research in eastern Zimbabwe and the ALPHA Network of general population HIV cohort studies.
