I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Infectious Diseases Data Observatory (IDDO), at the University of Oxford. As part of the Worldwide Antimalarial Resistance Network (WWARN), and in collaboration with the Mitigating Antimalarial Resistance Consortium in South-East Africa (MARC SE-Africa), I am constructing geospatial models of molecular markers for antimalarial drug resistance in Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Africa.

Until 2024, I was a PhD student in the School of Maths and Stats at the University of Melbourne, in the Melbourne Mathematical Biology Group. My thesis explored structured decision-making using geospatial modelling outputs. During my PhD, I applied methods of structured decision-making to models of Plasmodium knowlesi malaria in Indonesia, antimalarial resistance in Plasmodium falciparum in India and Japanese encephalitis virus in Australia.
