Selected research programmes
The July 2026 CV describes participation in ARISE adolescent health research, DSI-Africa, the Africa-Canada AI and Data Innovation Consortium, and research on school vulnerability and mass abduction in Nigeria.
It also records an ALC Early Career Fellowship for 2025–2027 on asset-based, impact-driven modelling for leishmaniasis control in Africa. Project descriptions here reflect that CV snapshot.
