Research & Interests:

My research interests focus on global health systems, primary healthcare strengthening, health financing reforms, universal health coverage, implementation science, and public health policy. I am particularly interested in health systems optimization, performance-based financing, vulnerable population health access, and the design of sustainable healthcare delivery models in low- and middle-income countries. My work also explores supportive supervision systems, referral efficiency, health workforce performance, and evidence-based policy development for improved service readiness and population health outcomes. I maintain a strong interest in interdisciplinary approaches that connect global health governance, health equity, and institutional capacity strengthening for resilient health systems.

Faculty Relationships at EUCLID:

At EUCLID, faculty interactions are intentionally personal, responsive, and relationship-centered. Students connect with professors primarily through direct email and scheduled Zoom sessions, creating regular opportunities for substantive dialogue rather than one-way communication.

Professors respond promptly to emails with detailed, constructive feedback and are readily available for one-on-one Zoom meetings to discuss coursework, research direction, thesis development, or career goals. These interactions are not limited to academic questions; they often evolve into ongoing mentorship relationships where faculty serve as professional and academic role models. Students benefit from professors’ real-world experience in global affairs, sustainable development, diplomacy, and related fields, gaining practical insights that complement the formal curriculum.

The emphasis is on genuine relationship building. Many students develop lasting professional connections with their professors, who actively support their academic progress and post-graduation objectives. This accessible, human-centered faculty model is a defining feature of the EUCLID experience, designed to foster intellectual growth, professional maturity, and meaningful scholarly collaboration.
