Research Interests: As a population health scholar, my research includes the substantive examination of societal shocks as social determinants of health and the development of novel methodological approaches for population estimates in developing countries. To date, published research has examined disasters from environmental hazards and technological innovations as determinants of population health. My dissertation examines armed conflict, famine, and genocide as intergenerational determinants of child health in Cambodia. My research focuses primarily on the regions of Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa and I have extensive experience working with the peoples of Southeast Asia. I am fluent in Thai and Lao and continue to develop my linguistic capabilities in Bahasa Indonesia and Khmer.
Teaching Interests: My teaching to date has primarily focused on data science (data management, statistics, and statistical programming in Stata and R) and research methods. I would welcome the opportunity to teach specialized courses on child mortality; child and maternal health in developing countries; social determinants of health; research methods in resource limited countries; and armed conflict, war, and health.
