Scholarship
My research focuses on improving health outcomes with a special interest in how government policies, institutions, and politics mediate these outcomes. Specific research areas include:
• Child health (child stunting, immunizations, mental health)
• Vaccine hesitancy and uptake (with a focus on COVID-19).
• Vulnerable populations (people with intellectual and developmental disabilities).
My research has been supported by grants from the World Health Organization, World Bank, Shahid Hussain Foundation, and the International Growth Centre.
