Mahfuj Alam, Biostatistics and Epidemiology

Mahfuj Alam is a PhD student in the epidemiology program in the Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology. An international student from Bangladesh, Mahfuj specializes in infectious disease epidemiology. He believes that infectious diseases are on the rise even in developed countries as international travel has increased dramatically in the last couple of decades. He believes that COVID-19 is not the last pandemic, and even worse diseases may spread globally in the future. He wants to work on pandemic preparedness in the future. He is also interested in epidemiological studies of urban malaria. The WHO declared urban malaria an emergency in some African countries. Mahfuj thinks that rapid and unplanned urbanization across the world will only create a conducive environment for spreading urban malaria. He wants to contribute to controlling infectious diseases globally after completing his graduation. In his free time, he likes to travel and interact with people from diverse backgrounds.

I thank the scholarship committee for taking the time to read my works, essays and selecting me for this prestigious scholarship. I am also thankful to the donors who show great generosity by providing financial support to me and other scholarship holders. And I hope that they will continue to encourage and support us throughout the journey we take for public health. In this occasion, I really want to thank my supervisor, Dr. Andrew Lover, and other faculty members in Bio-Epi department who encourage me to work in global public health.
