Josh Salomon
Joshua Salomon , Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of
International Health in the Department of Global Health and Population. His
research focuses on priority-setting in global health, within three main
substantive areas: (1) measurement of population health status and health
valuations; (2) modeling and forecasting health outcomes and disease burden; and
(3) evaluation of the potential impact and cost-effectiveness of current and
future health interventions. A major emphasis has been on
development of new approaches to data collection and analysis of health
measurements, with a particular focus on developing-country settings and aging
populations. Another major research area revolves around development and
application of analytic tools for priority-setting in global health. The goal of
this work is to combine techniques of simulation modeling with decision analysis
to inform decisions on use of existing health interventions and priorities for
developing new technologies. Salomon earned his Ph.D. in
2001 from HarvardUniversity.
