SCIENTIFIC CONTRIBUTIONS & IMPACT
Research Portfolio

Supporting Global Health through Systems, Data, AI & Epidemiology

Dedicated to exploring how Public Health Technology can address diverse global health challenges through evidence-based data and digital innovation. Expertise spans the development of advanced informatics tools for AMR and Tuberculosis surveillance, alongside epidemiological research into environmental health factors, such as the impact of coastal residency on hypertension.

By contributing to international initiatives like the CAPTURA, TACE, RADAAR, EQAsia projects, efforts are focused on bridging the gap between clinical microbiology and actionable health policy. Current work emphasizes the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to enhance predictive modeling for antibiotic resistance and improve data-driven decision-making. The ultimate goal is to develop scalable methodologies and intelligent systems that strengthen healthcare landscapes and improve health outcomes for communities worldwide.
