I am a Reader in Health Economics, with strong interests in both research and teaching. I joined Warwick in July 2017, having spent nearly 10 years at the University of Birmingham. In my current role, I carry out and lead on applied and methodological health economics research, and I plan and co-ordinate the health economics teaching agenda within Warwick Medical School. As of February 2022, my main focus has been on completing an NIHR Advanced Fellowship as part of which I look into how best to value and account for children and young people’s time in health economic evaluations.
