"My research vision is,

Sustainable, Efficient & Inclusive Population Health Improvement"​
 

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 I am dedicated to tailoring efforts for under-recognized/underserved populations, including LGBTQIA+ communities, socio-economically disadvantaged children, and older adults (Project "Second Chance"; 27-45 years for HPV vaccination and 66+ years for cervical cancer prevention). I am especially interested in integrating economic evaluation, community engagement, and business process models to optimize resources and their allocation by developing and implementing various decision support or navigation tools to enhance HPV-associated cancer prevention and control.
