- Faculty of History | Centre for the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology
I am an interdisciplinary postdoctoral researcher with a background in modern medical history and infectious disease policy. I hold a PhD in population health sciences from the University of Edinburgh's global health governance programme (2020), a MA in the history of medicine from Newcastle University, a MS in epidemiology and public health from Yale University, and a BS in both zoology and history of science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Before joining the Faculty of History, I worked as a study director at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Board on Global Health on a pandemic preparedness study, and in support of global health initiatives in Washington DC.
