BIOGRAPHY

I am a consultant psychiatrist specializing in psychogeriatrics and social psychiatry since 2005. With expertise in mixed and qualitative methodologies, I examine how social and cultural factors shape mental health among vulnerable populations. Currently, I am the deputy dean (research & innovation) of Medical School and the committee member for National Health Cluster Committee for National Aging Agenda.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

old aged psychiatry, aging and mental health, social psychiatry, mental health literacy, social cultural factors and women mental health. I have led national projects integrating clinical care, research, and advocacy. My current work on mental health literacy and suicide prevention aims to drive systemic change and influence policy for more equitable services.
