Biography

Nandeeta is a post-doctoral research associate at the NIHR ARC CHILDS group to work on the co-production of interventions for children with multi-morbidity. Her PhD at King's focuses on co-identifying actionable priorities for designing school-based healthy eating interventions for adolescents in Bangladesh. As Principal Investigator for a King's Engaged Research Network-funded project, she is co-designing intervention components for fasting adolescents during Ramadan in London, testing the scalability of methods used in her PhD research. Her research marks a shift from conventional top-down intervention models towards beneficiary-centred approaches. She specialises in Participatory Action Research with co-production methodologies.

Her interests span child and adolescent health, healthy eating, non-communicable diseases and health-seeking behaviour, utilising qualitative and mixed-method approaches. With two years of Public Health lecturing experience in Bangladesh, she also contributes to King's MSc Public Health (online) and MSc and iBSc Global Health programmes through supervising, marking and tutoring. Nandeeta is committed to contributing to sustainable health development globally, addressing health inequality. Walking the talk of wellness, she enjoys Zumba, Dance Fit and Les Mills workouts.
