This 2- year project uses real-world data (SEER-Medicare and EHR data), integrating causal machine learning with microsimulation to assess heterogeneous treatment effects (HTE) and conduct distributional cost-effectiveness analysis (DCEA). The aim is to assess the value of palliative radiation therapy for patients with bone metastases.

"My research vision is,
Patient Empowerment & Accessible Care for Health (PEACH)"
I am an Assistant Professor in Health Economics who focuses on data-driven, community-engaged, and process-embedded research to advance health equity and improve healthcare efficiency. My research focuses on HPV-associated cancer prevention and control and patient-centered cancer survivorship, and I am dedicated to tailoring efforts for under-recognized/underserved populations, especially socio-economically disadvantaged children and those with limited access to care (e.g., poor spatial accessibility, rural residents, unmet social needs, and high opportunity costs). I am especially interested in integrating economic evaluation, community engagement, and business process models to optimize resource allocation by developing and implementing navigation and information tools and actionable decision rules to enhance the patient-centered cancer care continuum.
