Infectious disease epidemiologist

---

I’m an epidemiologist and incoming Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics at UC Irvine. My research examines how social, environmental, healthcare, and biological factors interact to shape infectious disease risk and outcomes, with a particular focus on understanding the mechanisms underlying health inequities. By combining systems-level thinking, large-scale health data, advanced epidemiologic methods, and computational modeling approaches, I investigate the complex processes that drive disease patterns across populations. Through this work, I seek to generate foundational insights that inform theory, advance epidemiologic methods, and refine conceptual models of disease systems.
