Biography
My qualifications are MPH and MSc-Nutrition and I am currently a PhD student in epidemiology with training in global public health at Umeå University, Sweden. I am studying the emergence of the dual burden of malnutrition in Indonesia focusing specifically on the role of gender and social capital. Since January 2014, I have started collaborating with Prof. SV Subramanian from Harvard University studying inter-individual inequalities in Body Mass Index (BMI) as well as variation in BMI over time and place utilizing multilevel statistical analysis. For this work, I have been appointed as a research scientist at the Department of Social and Behavioral Science, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in spring 2015.
