MASTER'S THESIS
November 2025 : The Interplay of Digital Access and Scioeconomic Inequalities on Maternal Health Services Utilization in Togo Using Multiple Indicators Cluster Survey(MICS): A survey weighted analysis
Lead Author
Description: My Master thesis, using Togo’s 2017 MICS seondary data to examine how internet, mobile use and traditional media exposure, along with key sociodemographic and economic factors (age, parity, education, wealth, residence, and region), shape maternal health-seeking behaviours, namely: attending at least four ANC visits, delivering in a health facility with skilled assistance, and receiving PNC within 48 hours of birth using Survey-weighted bivariate and multivariable logistic regression along with sensitivity and interaction analyses

RESEARCH PROJECT
December 2024: HIV/AIDS and Inequality: Exploring Economic Correlations, Regional and Gendered Disparities Worldwide-RSTUDIO
Co-author
Description: We used global data from UNAIDS and the World Bank for 115 countries to analyze how economic, gender, and geographic factors influence HIV prevalence and AIDS-related mortality. We utilized Spearman correlations, Kruskal-Wallis tests, and geospatial maps to analyze disparities among GDP categories. We found women have a higher global prevalence (1.48% vs. 1.13% for men), and low-income countries have significantly higher infection rates than high-income countries (p = .0005).The conclusion calls for gender-sensitive programs and stronger health systems to reduce inequities in HIV care.

RESEARCH PROJECT
October 2025 : Dynamic Prediction of Sepsis at 6, 12, 18 and 24 Hours Post-ICU Admission in Respiratory-Supported Critically ill Patients Using Time-Series and Landmark Analysis
Co-author
Description: Developed and validated a landmark-based dynamic machine learning (LR, RF, XGBoost) models for near real-time sepsis prediction in respiratory-supported ICU patients. The model achieved high discrimination (AUROC up to 0.99), identifying hypoxemia and tachypnea as key risk factors, and provides a framework for early, interpretable clinical intervention.
RESEARCH PROJECT
2024 : Child Immunization Coverage Across Socioeconomic Groups In India
Lead author
A secondary data analysis study in India using NFHS-5 big dataset, Conducted as comparative study between
Tamil Nadu and Nagaland. I have examined disparities in full immunization coverage and identified key
socioeconomic determinants influencing vaccine uptake using survey-weighted bivariate and multivariable logistic regression.

Principal author
Description: Undergraduate project in TOGO, using primary data analysis, I have Assessed community awareness, perceptions, and behaviors toward childhood immunization to identify barriers and propose strategies for improving vaccine acceptance.
