  First, I will briefly introduce a research I jointly conducted with collaborators in Singapore and Indonesia. Infection caused by the Dengue virus is the most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral infection in the world today. Researchers caution that travellers are a key factor contributing to the global spread of dengue. This interdisciplinary research, traversing the disciplines of Entomology, Travel Medicine, and Marketing, was launched to advocate the proactive role of hotels in Bali in providing information on dengue prevention and control to international travellers as well as identify gaps in mosquito control measure implemented at hotels. The results suggest that an increased knowledge of dengue, more in-depth scientific information, and practical advice on effective mosquito control are required for the hotels to assume a proactive role in reaching out to international travellers. The second part is intended to provide the audience with an opportunity to get to know me. I will therefore elaborate on the self-introduction, such as working and living experiences in five countries as well as non-academic and academic career paths. The audience will hopefully have better ideas as to what topics/issues s/he might want to explore with me during her/his assignment at the Hakubi Project.
