I have a Master degree in health economics and a Doctorate degree in public health with a focus on epidemiology and health economics. I am affiliated with the Royal Society for Public Health, the Royal Society of Medicine, the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, the International Health Economics Association, and the International Society to Advance Alzheimer's Research and Treatment. I have more than ten years of research experience in health science, including hands-on experience in statistics, epidemiology, public health, global health, health economics, health systems, and clinical research. I have been working as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Cambridge for nearly four years and followed by an assistant professor at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. I have a sustained output of more than 80 high-quality research publications and have been serving as a reviewer for nearly 40 journals (e.g. British Medical Journal [BMJ], lancet regional health) and editor for specialized journals (e.g. BMC Medicine, and Alzheimer’s & Dementia).

My research focuses on psychiatry, geriatrics, and other non-communicable diseases. All are interpreted broadly to include well-being related to mental health and cognitive/ageing health, rather than only disease meeting diagnostic criteria. From a clinical view, I’m primarily focusing on the diagnosis, prognosis, and medicine management of mild cognitive disorders and dementia. In the public health and global health view, I'm also especially focusing on social support and health service utilization, as well as corresponding equity, for people with cognitive disorders.

Research methods include analysis of cross-sectional or longitudinal survey data or electronic clinical records, causal inferences, structural equation modelling, policy/intervention simulation, machine learning, mixed qualitative and quantitative observational studies, economic evaluation, and systematic reviews. My research is inherently multi-disciplinary and involves strong links with epidemiology, statistics, health economics, public health, global health, mental health, and ageing health.
