Research Interests:
1. Applied epidemiological research and analysis of routinely collected surveillance data for evaluation of immunisation programs.

2. Epidemiology, prevention and control of infectious diseases, particularly vaccine preventable diseases.

3. Evaluation of public health programs across a broad range of areas to improve effectiveness in achieving program goals (see publications).
