I study the ways in which health needs are established and prioritized during large humanitarian crises such as natural disasters and wars. I specifically focus on understanding and improving public health statistics and information related to the functioning of health systems/services/resources in crises, and population statistics such as mortality surveys and estimates and malnutrition assessments following disasters and wars.
