Current work targets how socioeconomic determinants influence infectious disease transmission in collaboration with African Medical and Behavioural Science Organization (AMBSO) in Uganda. Research interests are specifically the effects of inequality and food insecurity on health outcomes, including from infectious diseases such as HIV.

Further interests are global health policy, the use of infectious disease modelling
