Research Interests
My research focuses on using statistics
and data analysis to improve public health
especially in low-resource
settings. I am particularly interested in how climate change
environment
and
social factors affect health outcomes such as maternal and child health
and
sexual and reproductive health. With hands-on experience in
survey design
field supervision
and data analysis at organizations like BRAC
JPGSPH and Population Council
I enjoy working on research that combines public
health and environmental data to support evidence-based policies. I also aim to
explore how real-time data systems and tools like Stata
R
and SurveyCTO can
be used to monitor and respond to health challenges caused by climate change.
In the
future
I hope to work on interdisciplinary projects that link health
environment
and social issues to help protect vulnerable communities.
