Madison Luick
DPhil Student
Madison joined Oxford Population Health in October 2024 as a DPhil student in the Health Economics Research Centre (HERC), supervised by Associate Professor Koen Pouwels and Dr. David Smith. She has a keen interest in research related to antimicrobial resistance and infectious diseases more broadly, as well as an interest in the impact of behaviours and interventions associated with these diseases. In her DPhil project, Madison will assess the potential impact of interventions to reduce antimicrobial resistance.
Prior to beginning her DPhil, Madison worked as a researcher at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences. During this time, she gained research experience while conducting research on population health impacts of food reformulation and on interventions related to food purchasing behaviours. She then completed an NIHR pre-doctoral fellowship, where she focused on developing skills in health economic and choice modelling methods.
Madison holds a BSc in Biology of Global Health from Georgetown University and an MSc in Health and International Development from the London School of Economics.
