I am a second-year candidate in the joint PhD program with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and Nagasaki University. My project focuses on multi-disease antibody analytics. The overall aim is to evaluate various analytical approaches for interpreting multi-disease antibody data and to determine their effectiveness in public health surveillance. Specifically, for malaria and neglected tropical diseases in Southeast Asia and Africa. The PhD extends previous work on malaria and dengue, and will comprise data containing serological responses to multiple antigenic targets already collected. In this PhD, I hope to identify drivers of multi-pathogen exposure and quantify the risk of multi-pathogen exposure in a community.

Additionally, I am on the steering committee of the Malaria Centre, am active in community engagement with secondary schools in London, and help with the marking of the NTD module at LSHTM.
