Katherine Robsky, PhD MPH
Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Epidemiology
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
Katherine is an infectious disease epidemiologist with interests in the application social epidemiology, spatial statistics, and health equity to TB control. Her dissertation and postdoctoral research, under the mentorship of Dr. David Dowdy, aims to leverage spatiotemporal data to improve TB active case finding in Uganda. She will be joining Georgetown University’s Center for Global Health Practice and Impact in March 2023.
The February TRAC Seminar Series is presented by the Bioinformatics, Modeling & Biostatistics Core on “Person-Centered Diagnosis and Prevention of TB.”

Joowhan Sung, MD MSc
Clinical and Research Fellow, Division of Infectious Diseases
Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
Dr. Joowhan Sung is a second-year infectious diseases fellow at Johns Hopkins. He obtained his medical degree from Yonsei University College of Medicine and Master of Science in Epidemiology from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical medicine. He finished his Internal Medicine residency at Jacobi Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and worked as a hospitalist for four years before joining Johns Hopkins as an infectious diseases fellow in 2021. At Hopkins, he has worked on studies evaluating TB diagnostics and preventive measures in Uganda, and his research interests lie at the intersection of digital health and TB in resource-constrained settings.
