Better evidence for better public health.

Logan helps public health teams understand whether programmes are reaching people, how interventions work in practice, and where improvements are needed. His focus is programme evaluation using household surveys with institutions and researchers in low- and middle-income countries, bringing together survey, programme-monitoring, administrative, and geospatial data to inform decisions.

He holds a PhD in epidemiology focused on malaria evaluation and elimination in Zanzibar, and a master's degree in biostatistics. Malaria is his clearest specialist area, including reactive case detection, intervention coverage, and elimination strategies. His wider experience includes tuberculosis prevalence surveys, vaccine effectiveness research, and evaluations of public health programmes. He also brings experience in economic evaluation, including cost-effectiveness and budget-impact analysis.

Logan has more than a year of cumulative professional experience in sub-Saharan Africa, including living in Zanzibar. He has collaborated with researchers, governments, NGOs, and other partners across the United States, the Netherlands, Ethiopia, Ghana, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. He values research shaped and carried out with local institutions, with shared interpretation and practical use of findings.

His practical skills span study design, sampling, questionnaire development, ODK and digital data collection, fieldwork training, and data-quality systems. He uses R, survey methods, spatial analysis, QGIS, and reproducible reporting to turn complex data into clear evidence. Workshops, visualisations, reports, and presentations help governments, implementers, funders, and other decision-makers apply that evidence.

He is particularly interested in evaluation, implementation research, and evidence roles in malaria, tuberculosis, HIV, immunisation, community health, and health-systems strengthening. The same methods can support wider international development and NGO effectiveness questions, with opportunities to take responsibility for a study, evaluation, or evidence product.

He currently works as an Applied Statistician at Wageningen University & Research, providing consulting and methodological support for public health and applied research. This appointment runs through February 2027.
