Research
I hold a PhD in Sociology from City, University of London, where I specialised in health and HIV/AIDS. My PhD focused on the vulnerability and risk to HIV infection in Uganda.
I examined the influence of social factors on vulnerability and risk of HIV infection in Uganda, specifically investigating the impact of socio-economic status, sexual and gender-based violence, and related social and structural factors.

Areas of expertise
I am a mixed-methods researcher with expertise in quantitative methods, including multilevel modelling of demographic and health survey data from Sub-Saharan Africa.
My research interests are broadly focused on understanding the relationship between health and society, applied health research, and implementation science.
Specifically, my research interests include HIV/AIDS, health service research, social statistics, and social epidemiology.
I welcome enquiries regarding potential PhD research projects in these and related areas.
