About me

  • I am an infectious diseases epidemiologist dedicated to malaria elimination efforts across Africa.

    My work entails frequent travel between the Lake Victoria region of Kenya—where our research site is located—and Sweden. In the field, I collaborate with local staff, collecting data from a cohort study and cluster randomized controlled trial. I manage this data to analyze the impact of interventions and identify malaria risk factors using advanced epidemiological methods such as causal inference and malaria transmission modeling. Additionally, I conduct simulation studies to enhance our research insights.
