Sungwook Kim
Ph.D
Senior researcher in Health Economics
I joined the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences in March 2020. I developed experience in health economic evaluations conducted alongside randomised controlled trials and decision models, and methodological research around infant care, preterm birth, and parenting. Currently, I hold Leverhulme Trust research project grants for 2-year programme as a principal investigator - Identifying the causes of the causes for preterm birth. I am the Health Economics Lead for the Prediction of Preterm Labour (PROPER) project, in collaboration with Imperial College London. I am an editorial board member of PLOS One and BMC Health services research. I serve on a regional committee for NIHR RfPB. I would like to hear from potential PhD candidates interested in infant and child health.
