Dr Michele Nguyen is an Assistant Professor in Data Analytics at Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine with a joint appointment at the School of Physical & Mathematical Sciences. She received her PhD in Mathematics Research (Statistics) from Imperial College London. Prior to joining NTU, she was a postdoctoral researcher in Geospatial Epidemiology at the Malaria Atlas Project in the University of Oxford. She later worked as a Research Fellow in the Disaster Analytics for Society lab at the Asian School of the Environment, and a Lecturer in Data Analytics at the Nanyang Business School and College of Computing and Data Science in NTU.
Her research focuses on sustainability and health analytics. With the aim of informing planning and resource allocation, she develops advanced statistical methods involving spatial statistics, time series analysis and extreme value modelling. She has published in prestigious journals across multiple disciplines including Nature Sustainability, Scientific Reports, Risk Analysis and the Lancet. Her work has also been featured in the World Health Organisation’s World Malaria Report and the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction’s Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction. Dr Nguyen serves on the Editorial Board of the PLOS Global Public Health journal as an Academic Editor.
