Biography

I co-lead the Inequalities in Health programme at SPHSU. I studied social policy at the Universities of Leeds and Bristol, and epidemiology at the University of Edinburgh. Before joining the University of Glasgow in 2014, I worked for the UK and Scottish Governments as a researcher and research manager. From 2006-11 I combined this role with managing the MRC Population Health Sciences Research Network.

Here are links to my Google Scholar and ORCID pages.

Research interests

I work on the development and application of robust methods for the evaluation of policies that affect population health. I'm particularly interested in the use of natural experimental approaches to evaluate interventions that cannot be tested in randomised trials, and in the use of evaluability assessments to inform decision-making about when and how to evaluate population health policies and other complex interventions.
