About me
- Epidemiologist , Centre for Research on Health Care in Disasters, ViTriEx
(Virtual Triage Exercise) och AnTriEx (Analog Triage Exercise)
I am an epidemiologist with a Master of Science in Epidemiology degree from
London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. My master thesis focused on
how different means of food security interventions affect nutritional status
among the target population in Somalia.
I am currently working with the Centre for Research on Health Care in
Disasters [1], at the Department of Global Public Health [2], focusing on
developing interactive simulation methodologies to equip health care workers
with skills and knowledge to manage unforeseen events where the needs exceed
available resources. I am also in the process to develop and validate the
open access virtual simulation methodology ViTriEx - Virtual Triage Exercise
[3].
In addition to my role at KI, I also manage the implementation of a grant
from the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, which focus on
mobilisation, facilitation, and empowerment of multi-stakeholder-engagement
within the implementation of the Sendai Framework on Disaster Risk Reduction.
I have previously worked within the World Health Organisation in the Health
Emergency Program, where I supported the development of international
guidance on health-care system disaster preparedness - and assisted within the
WHO's humanitarian response coordination.
