Shweta completed her doctoral studies, focusing on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) within communities in the Greater Mekong Subregion. Her primary interest lies in the epidemiology of infectious diseases, including molecular epidemiology. She has co-authored numerous peer-reviewed articles covering topics such as antimicrobial resistance, pandemic preparedness, and Tuberculosis. Shweta employs a diverse range of research methodologies, including systematic reviews, qualitative methods, quantitative methods, and bioinformatics.

She has actively collaborated with the University for Health Sciences in Phnom Penh and Angkor Hospital for Children in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Beyond her research endeavors, Shweta is engaged in project management. Additionally, she plays a role in the planning and execution of programs like ADVANCE-ID and AMRITAS-LCG.
