Welcome Nabil Husni

We are delighted to welcome Nabil Husni to the Economics of Global Health and Infectious Diseases Unit at Melbourne Health Economics, Centre for Health Policy, as a PhD student.

Nabil's PhD research aims to integrate productivity losses among children into economic evaluation and examine the implications for equity in health decision-making. His work seeks to advance health economic methods by improving how the broader societal impacts of childhood illness are captured, with a particular focus on the economic costs of exclusion and marginalisation in the Asia-Pacific region. Nabil will be supervised by Associate Professor Angela Devine and Dr Marie-Anne Boujaoude.

Before joining the University of Melbourne, Nabil completed a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and a Master of Public Health in Health Systems and Policy at Rutgers School of Public Health. He has worked in data analytics and digital transformation across the social, healthcare and education sectors in both Malaysia and the United States, bringing valuable interdisciplinary experience to his doctoral research.

We warmly welcome Nabil to Melbourne Health Economics and look forward to following his PhD journey and the important contributions his research will make to health economics and global health.
