About

I am Professor of Health Economics in the Department of Pediatrics here at the University of Alberta. I am also the Chief Scientific Officer at the Institute of Health Economics, a non-profit organisation based in Edmonton that provides health economics and health technology assessment services. I was awarded my PhD in Health Economics from University College London, and earned my MA (Econ) in International Development from the University of Manchester, and my Bachelors (Hons) in Economics from Acadia University in Novas Scotia, Canada. I have previously academic appointments at the University of Bristol, University College London, and the University of Leeds. 

My research encompasses both applied and methodological topics in health economics, and I work across academic, government and other settings. I currently collaborate with the ministries of health in Alberta, Northwest Territories and British Columbia, as well Alberta Health Services, CADTH, and the PMPRB. I am also a research partner for multiple grants funded through CIHR, the UK NIHR and other Canadian national and provincial funding agencies. These collaborations include colleagues from the Universities of Alberta, Calgary, British Columbia, Toronto and Ottawa, as well as Simon Fraser University and the University of Bristol. I am currently a member of the CADTH RWE Reporting Guidance Expert Committee, and the Alberta Precision Laboratories Formulary Committee.


Research

My areas of research interest are the measurement and valuation of quality of life, the economics of end of life and palliative care, continuing care and long term care, methods for the incorporation of equity and distributional concerns within economic evaluations, and the role of uncertainty in decision making.

Teaching

I am open to inquiries for research students that align with my areas of research interest.

Announcements

Supervision

I am available to participate in supervision of graduate students at masters and PhD level.
