    Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Dynamics

BIO

I am a senior data analyst at the Ministry of Health, Singapore and joined the school as a research degree student in 2021, focusing on infectious disease modelling. I am interested in how disease surveillance could shape our understanding of the underlying outbreak dynamics and how changes in human behaviour affects disease transmission and effectiveness of outbreak control measures.

Prior to joining the school, I was primarily involved in the surveillance of influenza and other respiratory viruses. I completed my MSc in Epidemiology at Imperial College London (2016-2017) and BEng in Environmental Engineering at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (2012-2016)
