Current research interests
I am developing a protocol to study lifetime exposure to collective violence and its lasting public health impact (with a focus on pain, injury and disability) among a traumatized population. My primary interests rest in the endemicity of torture and other forms of collective violence in a crisis situation and the post-conflict setting, the risk factors for victimization and factors contributing to healing. Of a particular interest is to use geographic information system (GIS) to carry out the spatial analysis on socioeconomic gradient and dynamic of violence. I am also interested in developing strategy to reach hidden victims and studying the health vulnerability of female victims who experienced sexual violence and torture as well as developing a gender-based approach to increase the accessibility of the health services. The study has been conducted in Bangladesh and Kosovo and will be implemented in Iraq in 2011.

Language proficiency
Fluent in English and Mandarin, advanced level of French (C1), intermediate level of German, beginner level of Danish and a little Arabic.
