About
I am Dr. Azhar Uddin, and I graduated from Aligarh Muslim University with a UG and PG in statistics. Additionally, I received my Doctorate in Statistics with Medical Applications from Pondicherry University. However, Pondicherry University awarded me a one-year postgraduate diploma in computer application. I have seven years of research experience in addition to more than five years of biostatistics teaching expertise. Learning new statistical methods to enhance public health research is one of my hobbies.
