Welcome to my website!
I am a Researcher in the Child Well-Being Research Unit at the Research and Data Analysis Division, Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (RDA DSHS). I’m also a Lecturer at the School of Nursing and Health Studies, University of Washington Bothell. Prior to these experiences, I worked as an Assistant Professor at the Information Technology University in Pakistan.
My research focuses on improving health outcomes with a special interest in how government policies, institutions, and politics mediate these outcomes. Specific research areas include:
· Child health (especially child stunting, vaccinations, and mental health)
· Vaccine hesitancy and uptake (with a focus on COVID-19).
· Vulnerable populations (sex workers and injecting drug users)
I have a Ph.D. in Public Policy and Administration from the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy at the University at Albany, and a Master in Public Policy from the Lee Kuan Yew School of Policy at the National University of Singapore.
My research has been supported by grants from the World Health Organization, World Bank, Shahid Hussain Foundation, and the International Growth Centre.
