SUMMARY:CEPH Workshop Series | Modern Data Wrangling and Visualization [Ref
 resher Course]\, and Predictive Intelligence [Series 5]
DESCRIPTION:\nThe Centre for Population Health (CePH)\, Department of Socia
 l and Preventive Medicine\, Universiti Malaya will be organising two hands
 -on R workshops designed to strengthen participants’ data analysis and p
 redictive modelling skills for research and healthcare applications.\n\n\n
 \n\n\n\n\nR Workshop [Refresher Course] | Modern Data Wrangling &amp\; Vis
 ualisation📅 4 – 5 November 2026 | 🕘 9.00 am – 5.00 pm📍 SPM Co
 nference Room\, Department of Social and Preventive Medicine\, Level 1\, B
 lock J\, Faculty of Medicine\, Universiti Malaya\n\n\n\nBuild practical sk
 ills in modern R workflows\, data wrangling using Tidyverse\, feature engi
 neering\, missing data handling\, and publication-ready visualisation with
  ggplot2.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr M Kamarulariffin Kamarudin\n\n\n\nDr M
 . Kamarulariffin Kamarudin is a medical doctor with a passion for health r
 esearch methods and data science. He obtained his Doctor in Public Health 
 (DrPH) from the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine at Universiti
  Malaya and holds a Master of Science in Health Research from the Royal Co
 llege of Surgeons\, Ireland.\n\n\n\nDr Kamarulariffin has over 5 years of 
 experience through specialised training programs at prestigious institutio
 ns such as the Oxford Population Health Centre\, the School of Mathematics
  at Tianjin University\, and the Utrecht Summer School.\n\n\n\nHe has been

 mic Consortium for Public Health Conference and the Outstanding Student Aw
 ard from the China-ASEAN program on Data Science and Big Data.\n\n\n\n\n\n
 \n\n\n\nR Workshop [Series 5] | Predictive Intelligence📅 11 – 12 Nove
 mber 2026 | 🕘 9.00 am – 5.00 pm📍 SPM Conference Room\, Department 
 of Social and Preventive Medicine\, Level 1\, Block J\, Faculty of Medicin
 e\, Universiti Malaya\n\n\n\nExplore predictive intelligence techniques in
  R\, including machine learning\, supervised learning\, model validation\,
  neural networks\, and hands-on predictive modelling through a capstone pr
 oject.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Vivek Jason Jayaraj\n\n\n\nDr Vivek Jason
  Jayaraj is a Public Health Physician\, currently serving at the National 
 Institutes of Health Malaysia. He has previously served in rural Sabah for
  several years prior to his enrollment in postgraduate study. He is a prof
 essional with a keen interest in the confluence of data analytics\, epidem
 iology\, infectious disease\, and health systems. His portfolio includes k
 ey projects on the epidemiology of COVID-19\, the effectiveness of non-pha
 rmaceutical interventions\, and the comparative impact of health systems o
 n COVID-19 transmission.\n\n\n\nWith a penchant for data-driven solutions\
 , Dr Vivek has been involved in developing and implementing mathematical\,
  time-series\, and machine-learning models to forecast the spread of infec
 tious diseases\, including dengue\, COVID-19\, and hand\, foot and mouth d
 isease (HFMD). He strongly advocates the integration of data and compassio
 n in creating a promising future in healthcare. He relentlessly strives to
  reduce the time gaps in data-driven solutions within the realm of infecti
 ous disease and health systems\, working to shape a world where technology
  and humanity meet to improve health outcomes.\n\n\n\nDr Vivek dedicates h
 imself to community outreach with great passion. He led the team to set up
  pour flush pit latrines at the Orang Asli village at Bukit Manchung with 
 a sanitary education programme. He also conducted risk assessment activiti
 es at Angelcare Nursing Home and Persatuan Pengasih Malaysia during the CO
 VID-19 pandemic.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipants joining the Predi
 ctive Intelligence workshop should have basic knowledge of R and are encou
 raged to attend the R Refresher Course beforehand.\n\n\n\nRegistration Fee
