Research Interests:

Paediatric epidemiology and intervention studies, especially in the areas of nutrition and vaccination

• growth stunting, child development, and lipid-based nutrient supplement, and
• pneumococcal disease and pneumococcal vaccines.

Statistical models for failure time and count data, with applications to vaccine and child health research.

Quality of life research, with focus on finding and developing instruments that are precise and easy to use and have a utility interpretation.
