Dr Eliud Kibuchi

  • Research Fellow, Research Fellow (MRC/CSO Social & Public Health Sciences Unit)

Biography

I'm a Research Fellow at the MRC/CSO Social and Public Health Sciences Unit at the University of Glasgow.

I hold a PhD in Social Statistics from University of Southampton – UK, MSc in Environmental Statistics from University of Glasgow – UK, and BSc in Applied Statistics with Information Technology from Maseno University – Kenya.

My research focuses on statistical and survey methods and their application to understanding health inequalities in public and global health.

Research interests

Application of causal inference methods on linked administrative and survey datasets to understand health inequalities.

Investigation of drivers of health inequalities in informal settlements / slums in lower and middle income countries.

Survey methodology with interests in survey data quality aspects (mixed-mode, interviewer and incentive effects).
