We are delighted to announce Natasha Chilman as one of our Data Impact Fellows for 2023. In this post Natasha shares a bit about her background, her current work and research and what she hopes to get out of the Fellows scheme.

About me and my background
I previously worked in mental romania rcs data health crisis houses for the charity Rethink Mental Illness, where I often worked with people experiencing housing insecurity and homelessness. I then completed my MSc in Clinical Mental Health Sciences at University College London, before crossing the Thames to King’s College London to work as a research assistant using electronic health record data. I really enjoyed working with large-scale datasets and started to pursue a career in research.

I started my PhD at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (King’s College London) in October 2020, in collaboration with Rethink Mental Illness.

My PhD is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS-DTP). I am affiliated with the ESRC Centre for Society and Mental Health, and I also use King’s Centre for Military Health Research systems.

Following my experience working in crisis houses, I am interested in better understanding health inequities for people who have previously experienced homelessness.
