My research interests include the economic evaluation of public health interventions (including but not limited to vaccination programs) and the disease burden assessment (past and future) of environmentally-/ climate-sensitive infectious diseases. I have worked on various infectious diseases and pathogens (e.g., COVID-19, influenza, dengue fever, hand-foot-and-mouth disease, HPV, pneumococci), and collaborated with public health agencies at various scales, ranging from subnational (e.g., Minnesota Department of Health) to national (e.g., U.S. CDC, China CDC) and to regional/ international levels (e.g., Africa CDC, World Health Organization). Outside of academic writing, I have developed content (e.g., presentations, dashboards, policy briefs) for improving communication with policymakers.
