Dilan SriDaran is an actuarial manager for Ernst & Young‘s Health and Human Services team in Sydney, with extensive experience across health and aged care. Born and raised in Botswana, Dilan moved to Australia to pursue a Bachelor of Actuarial Studies (Honours) at the University of NSW, for which he earned First Class Honours and the University Medal. Dilan’s research background focuses on using statistical techniques to improve mortality projections, however he is passionate more broadly around the use of data to inform evidence-based policies. With his World Universities Ramsay Postgraduate Scholarship, Dilan will pursue a Master of Business Analytics at MIT, where he will study applied data analytics within a business and health context. Dilan hopes his studies will enable him to return to Australia with sharpened skills to help promote the innovative use of data to support evidence-based policies that enhance patient outcomes and promote the sustainability of the health and aged care system.
