Research

My current research interests broadly encompass:

Using economic evaluation (e.g., cost-effectiveness analysis) and simulation modeling to improve the efficiency of healthcare and population-level interventions in the US and in low- and middle-income countries
Developing and applying decision science tools and other research methods to advance health equity
Evaluating the costs, benefits, and cost-effectiveness of high-cost or novel healthcare technologies and therapies

Adult vaccination uptake strategies in low- and middle-income countries: A systematic review

This systematic review found that multicomponent interventions may be used to increase vaccination intent and uptake among adults, which may be relevant to current COVID-19 vaccination efforts in low-resource settings.

Estimation of potential deaths averted from hypothetical US income support policies

In this modeling study, broad income support policies, like universal basic income, were estimated to avert the most deaths among working-age adults, although targeted approaches, like poverty alleviation, may also avert thousands of deaths. Results were sensitive to several inputs, primarily the income group–specific mortality rates used.
