Associate Professor
Mahidol-Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit
I have been working in mathematical modelling for more than 15 years. I am interested mostly in diseases which cause health issues in the region. Many of these diseases are neglected, limited research and thus data available. I develop transmission models to help answering questions, often related to optimal control strategies. For many times I get the opportunities to visit study sites and collect some data to be used in the model myself. These activities are useful for designing the model and defining right research questions. I am currently leading the mathematical modelling group at MORU. We are working on several projects including Rabies and dog population control, Soil transmitted helminth infection, hepatitis B and C viral infection.
