メッセージ

With a strong belief that global health is a practical science, I have worked across a range of organizations in both practitioner and researcher roles. Through these experiences, I have come to view practice and research as the two wheels of a vehicle that drives us toward a healthier, more equitable, and more productive world.
While my research interests span a wide range of topics, they are particularly focused on health systems strengthening. I look forward to conducting research with you on both pressing global health challenges and neglected issues, in pursuit of effective and feasible evidence-based solutions.
