Charlotte Buckley
University of Sheffield, U.K.
Charlotte Buckley, Ph.D., is a Research Fellow at the University of Sheffield. Her research is focused on the development and utilization of advanced quantitative methods to understand and explore population-level health behaviours. She has developed a dynamic microsimulation model of population alcohol use in the United States and has used this to explore the relationship between alcohol use and liver cirrhosis. This model is being extended to the SIMAH project, to investigate associations between socioeconomic inequalities, alcohol use and mortality.
Before joining the University of Sheffield, Dr. Buckley received her Ph.D. from the School of Psychological Science, University of Bristol. Her wider interests are in incorporating psychological factors into complex systems models of health behaviours and outcomes.
