Overview

I am coming from a population health background, focusing on how social/commercial factors and policies influence distribution of health and disease across social groups in populations. This thread of thought led me to studies on social systems and how they influences health and wellbeing at individual and population levels. I found complex system theories quite interesting in understanding the social systems.

As a result, I did my PhD in Complex Systems Science where I learned the ways we can use systems thinking approaches in design, implementation, and evaluation of complex interventions where the complex fabric of a social dynamic system is addressed.

After my PhD, I worked at Institute of Population Health Sciences in Liverpool University where we used complex systems approaches to evaluate and implement couple of social interventions aimed to improve wellbeing and reduce health inequalities.

I joined Exeter University Business School from June 2019 to work on a fascinating project, called The Inclusivity Project, which aims to use complex systems science to map, understand, and change the system of employment at SME levels to make it more inclusive for old people, disabled people, and people with long term health conditions in Cornwall, South West of UK.
