Public Health Researcher & Statistician | PhD | WHO, UNICEF & World Bank Project Experience| 8+ years Experience

Profile Summary

I am a PhD researcher in Population Studies with over 8 years of experience in public health research, monitoring and evaluation (M&E), and statistical analysis. I have contributed to projects supported by WHO, UNICEF, the World Bank, McGill University, UNFPA, and various government initiatives across India and South Asia. My core expertise includes mixed-methods research design, survey implementation (ODK, KoboToolbox), and advanced econometric and demographic analysis using STATA, R, and Python. I also have strong experience working with SDG health indicators and evaluating large-scale immunisation programs. I have led field-based studies on tuberculosis (TB), reproductive health, child nutrition, and immunisation coverage, generating rigorous evidence to inform policy decisions at district, state, and national levels. I am equally comfortable designing studies from the ground up and analysing complex datasets to produce actionable insights. I am available for research design, data analysis, M&E framework development, literature reviews, and technical report writing.
