I am an infectious disease epidemiologist dedicated to improving the health of people affected by armed conflict and forced displacement.

I’m in the last year of my PhD in public health in the Parker Group at UC Irvine, funded by a National Research Service Award Predoctoral Individual Fellowship (F31) from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. I am also a consultant for the World Health Organization.

Research Areas

My research centers on understanding how armed conflict and forced displacement affect individuals’ health. Using infectious disease and spatial epidemiology, Earth observation, statistical modeling, and medical geography, I uncover the mechanisms through which this occurs and examine barriers to healthcare access in conflict and displacement settings. My approach to research emphasizes real-world applicability, scientific communication, and partnership.
