As an interdisciplinary global health scholar, Dr Roberts utilises a range of qualitative research methods (including interviews, case-study research, and policy and discourse analysis) to account for the unforeseen or unintended impacts on populations and societies which stem from the evolving datafication and digitisation of global health security practices in an age of 'Big Data'.
Beyond this ongoing research agenda, Dr Roberts continues to advance global health-focused research in a number of critical areas including: data politics and technology in global health systems; concepts of risk and emergency in global health contexts; pandemic preparedness activities; and conducting qualitative global health research in the digital era.
