Biography

Rodolfo joined HERU in 2002 after completing an MSc in Health Economics (University of York). In addition, he has a first degree in economics (UNLP, Argentina). Between 2008 and 2013 Rodolfo was a RCUK Research Fellow holding a joint post between HERU and the Health Services Research Unit (HSRU). In 2016 he completed a part-time PhD looking at how to use discrete choice experiment-generated willingness-to-pay measures within decision analytic models using the monitoring of individuals with ocular hypertension at risk of developing glaucoma as a case study. Rodolfo has vast experience in economic evaluation alongside RCTs (e.g., HEALTH, PUrE, C-GALL), ophthalmology related projects (e.g., I-TRAC, GRIP), evidence synthesis (ABEC - Aberdeen Belfast Evidence Collaboration), and Health Technology Assessments.
