I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Global Health and Development at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). My research focuses on implementation science, health systems and policy, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), multimorbidity, and mental health. I am particularly interested in generating evidence to strengthen health systems, inform policy, and improve health outcomes in low- and middle-income countries.
At LSHTM, I contribute to the STOP-NCD project, where I lead the quantitative component on the prevention and management of NCDs in West Africa. My work combines epidemiology, implementation science, and health systems research, with an emphasis on translating evidence into practice.
Before joining LSHTM, I worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Hiroshima University and the Telepsychiatry Research and Innovation Network (TRIN) in Bangladesh. I completed my PhD in Health Sciences at Hiroshima University in 2021 and received the Excellent Student Scholarship in 2017.
I trained as a physician in Bangladesh and hold an MD and an MPH in Epidemiology. Over the past 14 years, I have worked across public health research settings, including five years at the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (icddr,b), where I contributed to large-scale epidemiological and health systems studies. I also served as a co-investigator on the Pneumonia Etiology Research for Child Health (PERCH) project in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
As a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), I am committed to research, teaching, mentorship, and partnerships that support evidence-informed policy and practice globally.
