Research

Research Interests:

I am interested in doing policy-relevant public health research. My expertise is in three main areas: the behavioural risk-factors for non-communicable disease (particularly diet); the health of marginalised (urban) populations; and knowledge mobilisation (that is efforts to bridge the gap between research and practice to improve population health).
