OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

I am a DPhil candidate and Teaching Fellow in Quantitative Research Methods at the Department of Social Policy and Intervention. Prior to starting my DPhil, I worked as a Public Health Specialist at the Georgia Department of Public Health, contributing to the state’s COVID-19 pandemic response in the United States.
Through my clinical practice in Russia, where I completed my medical training, and Angola, I was involved in community-based health education programs. These experiences sparked a deep interest in digital health interventions, particularly for their potential to scale low-cost interventions that advance population health. My professional background centres on applying data-driven approaches to inform public health strategies and policies, with a focus on behaviour change interventions in areas such as nutrition, physical activity, smoking cessation, and parenting.
