Biography
An applied geo-data scientist, I am interested in the impacts of climate and the environment on health. I am a Senior Lecturer (career track) at Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, and a Climate and health Research Scientist at CeSHHAR Zimbabwe (LSTM Global Hub). I am also affifiated to Midlands State University (MSU) in Zimbabwe, where I am on an extended leave. At CeSHHAR I lead a team of data scientists investigating the impacts of heat on maternal and newborn health outcomes. At MSU, I lead the Place Alert Labs (PALs), a mixed methods health geography/GISc research initiative. Through PALs, my team does research on the mediating effect of climate and the environment on maternal and newborn health outcomes.
Teaching
At LSTM, I teach on Masters level courses on Climate Change and Health.
