Can you tell us about your research, work and expertise in Southeast Asia?
My research focuses on studying the triple burden of malnutrition situation in Southeast Asian children, from quantifying the severity of the problem, understanding the determinants and causes, to seeking effective prevention strategies to protect child health. By working with researchers and institutions in the local countries, we provide science-based evidence to inform government policies.
