Biography<\/strong><\/p>\n

Natcha is an infectious disease modeler with a background as a veterinary quantitative epidemiologist with extensive experience in mathematical modelling, risk assessment and statistical inference. Her most powerful attributes are adaptability and resilience. After completing her PhD and postdoctoral research in veterinary epidemiology, she joined the Climate, Environment and Health Group in the National University of Singapore, working on spatial epidemiology and infectious disease modelling. Beyond disease modeling, Natcha’s true love lies in observing\u00a0animal in their natural homes. This guided her to design a research path that bridges computational methods with field observation, aiming to advance upon understanding of disease transmission from animals to humans and to develop surveillance strategies for future pandemics, while also contributing to the preservation of habitats for humans and wildlife. She has begun this journey by connecting NUS and other regional universities to build a great collaboration for infectious disease prevention across the region.<\/p>\n
