Expert support, end to end
Across the full spectrum of food safety risk assessment and public health analysis — flexible input scaled to what each engagement needs.
Four areas of expert engagement
Each service is delivered independently or in combination — scaled to the scope and timeline of your project.
Training & Capacity Building
Building robust methodological skills within teams and organisations is essential for sustainable progress in food safety and public health. As an independent consultant, I contribute to the design and delivery of training — working as a subcontractor or affiliated expert through consultancy firms or international agencies. The courses are practical, evidence-based, and tailored to the audience, ranging from introductory workshops to advanced courses for experienced researchers and risk assessors.
What this includes
- Supporting tailored workshops for government agencies, NGOs, academic groups, and international organisations, delivered through collaborating organisations
- Contributing to courses in food safety risk assessment, epidemiology, and burden of disease methods, including DALY-based approaches
- Participating in both remote and in-person formats — from short intensive courses to longer capacity-building programmes coordinated by partner organisations
Typical clients
Public health agencies, food safety authorities, WHO/FAO regional offices, academic consortia, development organisations
Scientific Advisory & Project Support
Many projects benefit from independent expert input at critical junctures — whether during design, while navigating methodological challenges, or when interpreting complex results. I provide focused, high-quality scientific advisory support that strengthens the rigour and credibility of research and risk assessment work.
What this includes
- Conceptual development of research and risk assessment projects
- Methodological guidance on study design and modelling approaches
- Support in data analysis, interpretation, and communication of findings
- Development of technical reports, guidance documents, and scientific papers
- Review and synthesis of evidence for policy or regulatory purposes
Typical clients
Research institutions, government agencies, consultancy firms, international organisations
Independent Review & Evaluation
Credible, independent scientific review is a cornerstone of quality assurance in research and policy. I bring decades of methodological experience to the evaluation of proposals, reports, and programmes — offering constructive, rigorous assessments grounded in current scientific standards.
What this includes
- Review of research proposals and technical or scientific reports
- Evaluation of programmes and projects on behalf of funders and agencies
- Participation in expert panels and scientific advisory committees
- Peer review contributions across food safety, epidemiology, and public health
- Methodological audit of risk assessment and burden of disease studies
Typical clients
Research funders, regulatory agencies, international organisations, journals and academic publishers
Consultancy for International Organisations
Food safety and public health challenges are inherently global. I have a long track record of providing expert technical support to international organisations — contributing to risk assessments, normative guidance, and capacity initiatives that shape policy at national and international levels.
What this includes
- Short-term expert assignments and advisory roles for WHO, FAO, and similar bodies
- Technical input to international risk assessments and normative documents
- Contribution to global burden of disease and food safety initiatives
- Support across the project lifecycle — from scoping and design through to reporting
Typical clients
WHO, FAO, NGOs, bilateral development agencies, intergovernmental bodies
