My research activities are around epidemiological projects and operational research work. My major part into research activities include data management and project management. This part of my work helps to understand the different contributing factors to specific eye conditions and how it helps in improving the line of care at different levels. These activities will help in bringing an evidence and an additional dimension to assess the impact quantitatively.
My teaching interests include health economics and project management. This will help to teach and learn the different aspects surrounding the filed of health economics and its applicability to specifically eye care.
