Career Summary:

In 1996, I met Mather Teresa in Calcutta, India. My two-month volunteer experience at Mother Teresa’s House paved my way to pursue an area of public health and development. I received a master of public health from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2001, and a PhD in tropical medicine and public health from Tulane University, Louisiana in 2007. Since then, I have been an epidemiology consultant at the Asian Development Bank and involved in national HIV / AIDS prevention projects in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea at the Clinton Foundation (international NGO). In 2015, I joined in Kyushu University, the Institute of Decision Science for a Sustainable Society as a lecturer. Currently I worked at Kyushu University, the Institute for Asian and Oceanian Studies as an associate professor.

Research:

① “Transdisciplinary research methodology and evaluation indicators”
② “Empirical research on a portable infectious disease/lifestyle disease testing system that can be used on-site in emerging Asian countries”
③ “Evaluation of One Health Project (Impact on well-being and cost-effectiveness analysis)”

Relevant Countries in Asia & Oceania:

Indonesia, Malaysia, China, India, Bangladesh, Thailand, Papua New Guinea

Committee roles and Outreach activities:

Japan Association for Medical Informatics (JAMI), Gerontology Society of America (GSA), Japan Association for International Health (JAIH), International Social Science Council (ISSC), American Public Health Association (APHA)

Message:

I hope that I can serve and contribute as much as possible with Kyushu University and global society at large.
