Ms Cheng Zhao

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Public Health. I received my PhD in 2024 from ETH Zurich where I explored the use of geospatial and disease dynamics modelling against infectious diseases, with a focus on antimicrobial resistance in food animals, as well as COVID-19 during the pandemic. I am passionate about health geography and environmental epidemiology, particularly in using data-driven approaches to uncover insights into the complex interplay between environmental, socio-economic, and genetic factors that shape disease patterns. I am also passionate about combining such data-driven methods with community involvement to create meaningful contributions to health policy and practice.
