Research Area

I am a dedicated and innovative researcher with strong professional perseverance and a passion for improving public health. My work focuses on collecting and analyzing high-quality data for epidemiological studies that generate valuable insights to benefit both patients and society. My primary research interests lie in examining how our consumption—what we buy—affects health, with a particular focus on food- and waterborne as well as zoonotic infections. Additionally, I investigate how diseases, especially infectious diseases, spread within social networks such as schools and families.
