Universal coverage for emergency patients
My introduction to health-services research: studying how a financing reform changed access and outcomes for trauma patients in Thailand.

Emergency care. Health policy. Clinical systems.
I am a high school senior exploring how emergency care, health policy, and clinical systems shape what happens before, during, and after a patient reaches the hospital.

WORK
Questions I am learning to investigate
Student research across emergency care, health policy, and clinical systems—developed with mentors, public data, and careful limits.
Health policy in the 2026 Thailand General Election
A student contribution to a group perspective asking what election health policies reveal about rights, risk, and the role of the state.
HER2+ breast cancer classification and segmentation
A high-school research project testing whether weakly supervised learning can connect tissue morphology with HER2 status.
Bone fracture and anomaly detection
My early attempt to understand a clinical-imaging workflow by separating fracture localisation from image classification.
PERSPECTIVE
Why I study systems of care
I approach medicine from a student’s perspective: curious enough to ask basic questions, disciplined enough to test them, and honest about where my experience ends. My work spans emergency-care financing, health-policy analysis, and computational prototypes for clinical imaging.
