Biography
After completing an undergraduate degree in mathematics, my interests changed over to statistics. Since then I have devoted all my postgraduate study to statistics, specialising in biostatistics. I have now been working in the field of biostatistics for the past seven years, where I have experience in both clinical and behavioural settings.
In my current role I primarily work on the development and testing of novel statistical methods for analysing complex family data and the determination of optimal designs for population pharmacokinetic studies of drugs used to treat malaria. I also contribute to the teaching of biostatistical methods in the Master of Public Health program.
