Research

I am a fellow at the Amsterdam Institute for International Development (AIID), where until 2016 I was a researcher in the field of development and health economics. At AIID I have written research proposals, developed research instruments, organized fieldwork, cleaned data, conducted econometric analyses, and written reports and academic papers. I have furthermore advised on survey methods and data analysis for the SCALE-UP study in Nairobi. My PhD thesis draws on my research at AIID.

As PODER fellow at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, I continued with health and development economics research.

As fellow at the PharmAccess Mobile Health Research Lab I was involved in the development of a research program with the so-called mHealth wallet in Kenya, a healthcare savings product operating on the mobile money platform M-Pesa.

Fields of research experience: impact evaluation of subsidized private health insurance schemes, the economics of HIV/AIDS, mobile money interventions, and early child development.
