As a consultant for
UNAIDS,
I worked on the implementation of Bayesian melding for assessing uncertainty in HIV prevalence estimates and predictions in the
Estimation and Projection Package. See the news on the adjustments by UNAIDS on the HIV estimates and predictions in 2007 in
Nature.
My dissertation research on assessing uncertainty in fertility estimates and predictions is collaborative
work with analysts at the United Nations Population Division
in New York.
In 2007, I was a research intern at the
African Population and Health Research Center
in Nairobi, Kenya, and spent the summer as a visiting researcher at CARe, the Centre for Actuarial Research at the University of Cape Town in South Africa.
During my Master’s studies in Applied Mathematics at the
Delft University of Technology,
I worked on my Master’s thesis in Time Series analysis at Shell Research. I did an internship at the World Fund for Nature in Indonesia working on fisheries data, and at the
Technical University of Budapest in Hungary on developing and implementing the statistical part of a simulation program for telecommunication.
