About Me

Hi! My name is Hao Kai Tseng. I currently work with the Epidemic Intelligence Center at Taiwan Centers for Disease Control (CDC). My daily work involves outbreak monitoring across the globe, specifically on SARS-CoV-2, Polio, Cholera, and other food- and water-borne diseases.

I was an intern at Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance on immunisation financing and sustainability. My work involved maintaining countries’ Co-financing data across multiple databases, supporting key monitoring, analytics, and documentation.

Before joining Gavi, I studied Health Data Science Programme at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). As a Student Liaison Officer of the Vaccine Centre at LSHTM, my career aspirations revolve around streamlining data pipelines in support of immunization initiatives - that’s where I am now!

I acquired my BSc Public Health from the National Taiwan University in 2016. I have gained experience in the field of infectious diseases through my work in both a research institute and a governmental health sector Taiwan.

I am interested in policy implementation and evaluation related to infectious diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened my focus on strengthening society’s capacity for pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response. Besides, I am actively engaged in assessing TB patient costs for WHO’s End Tuberculosis Strategy.

As a gay, promoting equity is my fav.

In an attempt to pull my skillsets to the cloud, this blog aims to offer practical applications and inspirations that give the push you need to explore the realms of public health and data science.

I find fun in data, hope you do too!
