Professional Summary and Publications

My research focuses on public health systems, infectious diseases, and community health in Northeast India, with particular emphasis on health systems strengthening and improving health-seeking behaviour in underserved communities. My work combines field-based epidemiological research with program implementation to generate evidence that can inform public health policy and interventions.
I have been involved in several research projects in Meghalaya, including studies exploring the reasons behind vaccine refusal and the epidemiology of malaria under the CSCMi initiative. My role has included coordinating field activities, supporting data collection and analysis, identifying study sites, and training field research teams. I have also contributed to research examining health-seeking behaviour for malaria in communities across multiple districts of Meghalaya, which was presented at IPHACON 2024.
In addition to research activities, I actively engage in public health program monitoring, community awareness initiatives, and capacity-building activities related to nutrition, food safety, and infectious disease prevention. My work aims to strengthen health systems and support evidence-based public health interventions in resource-limited settings.
