I previously worked as a Prevention Effectiveness and Senior Service Fellow in the Director Policy Office at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, prior to my academic appointment. My current research specializes in health system epidemiology and in the use of quantitative models to evaluate the impact of health policy interventions, including cost-effectiveness analysis, budgetary impact assessment, methods for analyzing the uncertainty, and environmental health.
