RESEARCH
Overview
I am a Research Associate at the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology of Imperial College London.
My PhD in Economics was dedicated to studying health, poverty and inequalities in policy evaluation. I worked on assessing the impact of introducing co-payment schemes in hospitals in contexts of conflict, budget management in female headed households, interaction between traditional and conventional medicine markets, evaluating intersectoral interventions to tackle substance abuse among teenagers and understanding societal behaviors and perceptions during the COVID-19 pandemic. I conducted and participated in research projects in Guinea-Bissau, Lebanon, Brazil and Portugal and previously worked with the European Commission and United Nations, as well as NGOs and Governmental agencies from Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America.
At ICL, I am currently working on the STARmeds project with Prof. Katharina Hauck, measuring the impact of substandard and falsified medicines in Indonesia. I am supporting the economic evaluation team that is now focused on developing a time-and-motion study to assess the cost-effectiveness of medicine surveillance.
