Evaluation of screening

I am an Assistant Professor in Public Health with almost 10 years of research experience. My career goal is to improve population health through advanced computational and data-analytic approaches. Common sources of information include demographic, epidemiologic, economic, clinical, and biological data; research methodology draws from decision and data sciences.
A primary research interest is personalized prevention of cancer, with a focus on colorectal cancer, liver cancer, and stomach cancer. For colorectal cancer, our work has informed both national and international screening policy. Recently, I co-initiated a new research line around mental health promotion. The research is conducted in collaboration with diverse clinical and methodological research groups worldwide.
