Derek Asuman serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Public Health - Department of Health Services Research at Aarhus University, Denmark. His office is located at Bartholins Allé 2, 8000 Aarhus C, and he maintains an ORCID profile (0000-0002-3759-7651) with contact email da@ph.au.dk.
His research centers on health economics as a primary discipline, with significant secondary work in labor economics and development economics. He investigates critical intersections of gender, socioeconomic inequalities, and early-life circumstances, particularly through the lens of maternal welfare, disability impacts, and health system performance. His fingerprint reveals strong engagement with household economics, health surveys, maternal healthcare, and decomposition analysis in African contexts.
Recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate methodological rigor in longitudinal and cross-sectional analyses across diverse settings. His work spans Swedish disability studies examining cerebral palsy's labor market effects, Ghanaian research on gender-productivity gaps in SMEs, and health literacy impacts on malaria treatment costs. Common threads include advanced econometric evaluation techniques, focus on vulnerable populations, and policy-relevant findings for both high-income and developing economies.
Asuman teaches thesis seminars on Demographic and Health Surveys at the BA level and Advanced Health Economics and Demography at the Masters level in Public Health Science. He actively supervises student assignments and theses, though specific grant funding or laboratory affiliations are not documented in available sources.
