Biography

I am an aging-focused health services researcher with extensive experience studying long-term care, health policy, and cancer survivorship at the Emory University School of Nursing. Over the last 10 years, I have been examining the staffing, quality, disparity, and policy in nursing homes using various large administrative data. I am also interested in applying machine learning to aging research and has built various supervised and unsupervised machine learning models. I currently leads a 4-year R01 grant from the National Institute on Aging (R01 AG081282, 2023-2027). I have participated in multiple NIH-funded projects in cancer survivorship previously (R01, U01, UG1, R21, etc.). I was selected into several prestigious aging-related training programs including the RL5 Pepper Scholar from UTMB Pepper OAIC Center, the NIA RCCN Scholars Program in Multidisciplinary Research, the NIA AWARD Network Dementia Workforce Summer Institute, and the R25 Research Methods in Supportive Oncology from Harvard Medical School. My work resulted in 60+ peer-reviewed articles in leading medical and policy journals including The Lancet, JAMA Internal Medicine, JAMA Oncology, JAMA Network Open, Journal of Clinical Oncology, JAGS, JAMDA, Health Affairs, Health Services Research, and Medical Care, as well as two book chapters and 90+ scientific abstracts. I hold national leadership positions at the AcademyHealth, NIA AWARD Network for Dementia Workforce Research, Cancer and Aging Research Group (CARG), and China Health Policy and Management Society (CHPAMS). I serve as a scientific reviewer for the National Institutes of Health, AWARD Network, and CARG, as well as 25+ scientific journals. I have mentored 20+ statisticians, fellows, junior faculty, and students (undergraduate, master, medical, and doctoral). Before coming to Emory, I held faculty positions at the University of Rochester Medical Center and University of Texas Medical Branch. I earned my PhD in Health Services Research and Policy with Data Science training from the University of Rochester.
