About
I hold a Joint PhD in Public Health from Curtin University and the University of Aberdeen (2023) and an MPH (2015) from the University of Ghana. An early Career Research Fellow with expertise in epidemiology, health services research, health economics and population health. My research focuses on generating evidence that improves healthcare delivery, informs policy and addresses health inequities through the application of advanced epidemiological methods, linked administrative health data and multidisciplinary collaboration.
I previously held the prestigious Alfred Deakin Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (March 2024-March 2026) and am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow within the Institute for Health Transformation at Deakin University, where I lead research investigating the epidemiology, healthcare utilisation and economic burden of diabetes using one of Australia’s largest linked primary and secondary healthcare datasets.
My work has influenced policy and advocacy through collaborations with Diabetes Australia, Diabetes WA, Primary Health Networks and health departments, while contributing to improvements in chronic disease prevention, healthcare planning and evidence-informed decision-making. I have published more than 60 peer-reviewed journal articles, secured over AUD $420,000 in competitive research funding, and established an emerging international research profile through collaborations across Australia, Europe and the Global Burden of Disease Collaborators Network.
I am passionate about collaborative research that translates evidence into practical improvements in health services, workforce development and population health, with a particular interest in improving healthcare access and outcomes for underserved and rural communities.
