• Program model components in R and Excel/VBA; perform sensitivity, scenario, and uncertainty analyses.
• Critically evaluate evidence—including epidemiology, clinical data, health utilities, and costs—and translate findings into robust model inputs.
• Identify structural limitations and methodological weaknesses in models and propose improvements.
• Contribute to client deliverables: technical model documentation, project reports, presentations, abstracts, and manuscripts.
