Research Student - DrPH - Epidemiology & Population Health

I am a public health physician with over eight years of experience in medicine and public health. My career has included practising medicine in rural Indonesia, leading national pandemic response initiatives, and influencing health policy at the national level. I have served as a consultant for the WHO's Global Diabetes Compact and as a policy analyst for Indonesia's Ministry of Health, focusing on non-communicable diseases, particularly diabetes and the COVID-19 pandemic. I earned my MPH from Johns Hopkins University and my MD from the University of Indonesia. Additionally, I was part of the Harvard Medical School Southeast Asia Leadership Program and the WHO Young Leaders Network.

Teaching

I serve as an assistant lecturer in the Department of Health Administration and Policy at the Faculty of Public Health, University of Indonesia, where I assist in teaching topics such as intermediate health service quality and primary health care to both undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Research

My research interests primarily revolve around noncommunicable diseases, including diabetes. Currently, I am developing a machine learning model to predict the risk of type 2 diabetes among Indonesian adults. My doctoral projects also involve utilizing a learning health system approach to improve diabetes detection in North East London. Additionally, I am highly interested in applying digital health solutions to enhance public health outcomes.
