Profile Summary

Biostatistician with over 6 years of experience in epidemiology and public health research, with a strong focus on the application of statistical methods to clinical and population-level health data. My work has primarily involved infectious disease surveillance and non-communicable disease (NCD) research within leading academic and public health institutions in India. I have extensive experience in survival analysis, generalized linear models (logistic and Poisson regression), and decision tree methods (CART), applied to diverse research areas including antimicrobial resistance (AMR), healthcare-associated infections (HAI), COVID-19, diabetes registries, and cancer screening programs. My current role as a Research Scientist (Statistical Consultant) involves contributing to an ICMR-funded implementation research project aimed at strengthening screening, early diagnosis, and treatment initiation for oral, breast, and cervical cancers. I am proficient in R, STATA, and SPSS, and have worked with large-scale, real-world health datasets, including registry and surveillance data. My contributions span the full research lifecycle, including study design, statistical analysis, data management, interpretation of findings, and manuscript preparation. I have co-authored over 20 peer-reviewed publications and have presented my work at international conferences such as ISHAM and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Congress. My academic training and professional experience have provided a strong foundation in epidemiological methods, reproducible research practices, and data quality assurance. My research interests include: Advanced survival and longitudinal data analysis Epidemiological modeling and real-world evidence generation Application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in public health Infectious disease epidemiology and AMR surveillance Implementation research and health systems strengthening I am interested in collaborating on academic and applied research projects that require rigorous statistical analysis, methodological input, and clear interpretation of results for publication or policy translation.
