Research
Previously, my research focused on sanitation and child faeces management, which was the focus of my PhD. As part of my PhD, I looked at practices, determinants and health impacts of child faeces disposal. The work included a cross-sectional study in India and a Cochrane systematic review. I have also been involved in research to design and evaluate behaviour change interventions to improve latrine use and child faeces disposal in India.
I have also worked on evaluations of the impact of improved and LPG cookstoves on household air pollution in Rwanda, and on the impact of water filters on water quality.
