Emeritus Professor Ravi Maheswaran
School of Medicine and Population Health
Profile

I retired in September 2023 and have been awarded an Emeritus Professorship. I continue to be actively involved in research.

I graduated in Medicine (MBChB) from the University of Sheffield in 1981 and was awarded an MD in 1990 by the University of Sheffield for research on alcohol and hypertension. I joined the University of Sheffield in 1998 as a Senior Clinical Lecturer and was subsequently promoted to Reader and then Professor of Epidemiology and Public Health.

My professional qualifications included Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP, 1984), Membership (MFPHM, 1996) and subsequently Fellowship (FFPH, 2009) of the Faculty of Public Health. I relinquished my registration with the General Medical Council and the Faculty of Public Health following my retirement.

Research interests

My specialist areas of research interest and expertise focus on geographical and environmental epidemiology and socioeconomic and geographical disparities in health and health care.

I have worked on numerous grants incorporating innovative linkage of geographical, environmental and health datasets to address a wide range of research questions.

My publication track record includes over 100 publications with a Scopus H-index of over 20.

Teaching activities

My main teaching role was as Director of Undergraduate Public Health Teaching on the Sheffield MBChB. I provided leadership and management for public health teaching across all phases of the Sheffield MBChB curriculum.

I also previously set up and taught postgraduate modules on Epidemiology, Using Sources of Information and GIS in Public Health on the Sheffield MPH.

Professional activities and memberships

I organised the First European Conference on Geographic Information Sciences (GIS) in Public Health, held in Sheffield in 2001 (252 participants from 19 countries) with European Union Fifth Framework funding to support the conference and associated workshops.

I was involved in organising GIS Research UK 2002 and the 2nd UK and Ireland Environmental and Occupational Epidemiology meeting in 2006.

I was also involved in organising several conferences for GEOMED, the premier international conference series on spatial statistics, geographical epidemiology and public health:

  • 2005 (Cambridge, UK)
