DPhil Student
Lhuri is a Jardine Scholar who joined NPEU in October 2018 as a DPhil student under the supervision of Professor Maria Quigley and Dr Claire Carson. Her research project will be looking at infant feeding practice in Indonesia.
Maternal and child health was the area of her previous work with the Ministry of Health, health professional organisations, as well as UN Bodies including WHO and UNFPA. Her motherhood experience has added another reason she continues to focus in this research area.
