Hi there! My name is Ashwin and I am currently in my third year towards a Bachelor’s degree in Information Sciences at the VU in Amsterdam. Additionally I am following the Minor in Global Health. This has always been a field of study that I have been interested in, and want to learn more of. It is especially interesting for me to see in what ways my knowledge in Information Sciences can be combined with the material I learn about Global Health, and in this specific case, on the topic of the double burden of disease.
