Jessica Ko

Sheffield Hallam University
Research Fellow

Jessica is our Implementation Unit 1 (‘What Works Evidence’) Research Fellow. She works closely with IU1 colleagues on evidence synthesis and review. She is also considering stakeholder interactions, and the way in which our outputs and results are presented in order to make them effective and accessible.

As a methodologist, Jessica has extensive experience leading and conducting systematic reviews and evidence synthesis on a wide range of topics including reproductive health, education, economics, and social care. She has worked within policy research units and research centres at University College London (UCL), Canterbury Christchurch University (CCCU), and the University of Warwick.

Jessica’s key interests lie in the development of systematic review methods for producing policy-relevant evidence that accounts for complexities in the social world. She hopes to pioneer evidence synthesis approaches for global reviews spanning multiple cultures, countries, and languages.
