I am a start-career investigator in the field of environmental epidemiology. My interdisciplinary research lies at global climate change, air pollution, exposure estimation modeling, global infectious diseases, global health, and classical epidemiology. My group interests are: (1). Evaluating the effects of climate change on infectious diseases. I combine methods form traditional epidemiology, atmospheric science, and statistical modeling with the aim of answering questions of relevance to patients and policymakers. (2). Environmental epidemiology, especially particulate matter, we used comprehensive statistical models to estimate the individual PM air pollution exposure for participants from different cohort from China, US, South Korea, we also evaluated the health effects of PM on cardiovascular, otolaryngologic diseases, and cancer in cohort studies. (3). Translational epidemiology: I have great interest in creating modeling frameworks that allow decision-makers to translate epidemiological data into effective decisions. I welcome collaboration from researchers, clinicians, or students having expertise in any field, who hope to create models to translate epidemiological data into meaningful policy, practical, or clinical decisions. (4) Teaching and mentorship: These are essential, and often-undervalued, skills in the field of epidemiology. If our profession is to continue its record of success, I firmly believe that we need to train future leaders how to teach and mentor others, and also to do our best to serve as role models in that regard.
