As for now, I am the senior medical lecturer (as an Associate Professor in Epidemiology and Statistics, to be specific) at the School of Medical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan, Malaysia.
I teach undergraduate medical students. And in addition to that, I am heavily involved with postgraduate teachings mainly for the Master of Public Health (MPH), Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) and MSc (Medical Statistics).
I actively engage with epidemiologic research and being an academician I write papers and books.

Fields of expertise
Epidemiological Modelling
I teach and do research on communicable and non-communicable disease modelling, spatial epidemiology and quantitative epidemiology.
That means I used lots of applied statistics.
Statistical Modelling
I deal mainly with statistical modellings such as the general and generalized linear models and mixed models when it comes to analysis.
The study designs that I commonly use are the cross-sectional and the cohort (survival analysis, longitudinal data analysis) and clinical trials.
Statistical Computing:
This is the IDE that I am using in 90% of my analytics time. Some of my works on GitHub
I have used STATA and SPSS before.
Data analytics
I do some predictive analytics for example machine learning.
I was a sessional lecturer at the Monash University Malaysia where I taught Data Analytics for Business.
