ExpertiseEnvironmental Epidemiology, Noise measurement and estimation, Causal Mediation Analysis
Research InterestsUse of epidemiological methods such as Causal Mediation Model to study the relationship between environmental factors (such as greenness, air pollution and noise pollution) and chronic diseases. Simultaneously, high-dimensional statistical model is developed to analyze the effects of mediation factors and co-exposure factors on the disease.
