KANDJONI Yendouname is a quantitative epidemiologist and biostatistics MSc candidate at SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. He has a strong foundation in fundamental mathematics, statistical inference, and applied data science, focused on modelling, population-level analysis, and evidence-based public health decision-making.

His work emphasises advanced epidemiologic and statistical methods, including survey-weighted analysis, applied multivariate statistical analysis and survival models, Bayesian and multilevel modelling, machine learning, and spatial analysis, primarily using R, Python, SAS, STATA, SPSS and QGIS. He work extensively with large-scale population datasets such as DHS, MICS, and NFHS, translating complex data into interpretable, policy-relevant evidence for health systems and population health planning.

His research applies these quantitative approaches to questions in maternal and child health, immunisation equity, digital access, and infectious disease epidemiology, with contributions spanning disease-risk prediction models and cross-country and subnational analyses of health inequality. His academic training is supported by a fully funded government merit-based scholarship.

He also brings prior experience in clinical care, having earned a nursing degree from ENAM Lomé, Togo (2021), and worked in hospital settings from 2022 to 2023. This background informs without defining his current work, grounding quantitative research in real-world public health contexts.

He is committed to bridging data, policy, and practice to support equitable and resilient health systems, particularly in underserved settings, and he aims to contribute to disease modelling, epidemiological surveillance, and data-driven global health policy.
