Since 2006, I have been a Research Scientist and the Senior Statistician at the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS. In 2011, I became an Assistant Professor at UBC, and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2016.
The focus of my research career has been on the epidemiology and control of the HIV virus. Based on my extensive training in statistics, epidemiology and mathematical modeling, I have developed innovative models of disease progression and transmission to understand the potential impact of behavioral, biomedical and programmatic interventions on the HIV epidemic.
I have also done some work on hepatitis C prevention, and I am starting to work on the impact of social determinants of health on the population living with HIV.
I currently hold salary awards from CIHR and MSFHR, and I am the NPA/co-applicant on 7 national/international grants from CIHR and the US National Institutes of Health ($10M in funding).
