Biography

As a Senior Research Associate for Health Economics Consulting (HEC), I lead, initiate, and share responsibility for HEC’s consultancy and research projects, including serving as a Principal Investigator where necessary. In this capacity, I am responsible for business development activities for HEC, taking a lead role in designing projects and preparing project proposals, undertaking administration relevant to projects, managing, training, mentoring, and supporting other HEC staff, and contributing to and monitoring the quality of research activities and outputs.

Examples of health economics projects that I have been involved in include evaluating the cost-effectiveness of different medical treatments, analysing the impact of health policies on patient outcomes and healthcare spending, and assessing the value of healthcare interventions. Through these projects, I have gained expertise in various analytical techniques, such as cost-effectiveness analysis, budget impact analysis, and patient-reported outcomes analysis.

In addition, I also contribute to the development of HEC’s training program. This has included designing and delivering training sessions on topics such as health economic modeling, data analysis, and health technology assessment.

Overall, my work as a Senior Research Associate for HEC allows me to apply my expertise in health economics to a variety of real-world problems, while also contributing to the development of the field through training and mentoring activities.
