I'm an applied economist interested in public policy, program evaluation and the cost of interventions particularly in public health, socio-economic development and macroeconomics. I have been working at the Papua New Guinea Insitute of Medical Research for the past 6 years in malaria, sexual reproductive health, health economics and health systems research. My PhD is on the 'Economic evaluation of point-of-care testing and treatment for sexually transmitted and genital infections in pregnancy to improve birth outcomes in Papua New Guinea'.
