Summary

I am a Research Assistant in Epidemiology and Population Health for the NCD Risk Factor Collaboration (NCD-RisC), within the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics in the School of Public Health. Prior to joining Imperial I completed a Summer Studentship at the Big Data Institute, constructing spatial networks to assess the distribution of treatment for schistosomiasis within villages in Mayuge District, Uganda.

I hold an integrated Master’s degree in Mathematics from the University of Oxford, where I specialised in Network Science and Mathematical Biology. My dissertation investigated a coevolutionary hypergraph model, looking at mechanisms for political polarisation and consensus formation within the context of higher-order group interactions.
