Investigators

Summary

My research interests are centered on structuring and delivering health information through an informatics-based approach to diverse demographic groups, with a particular focus on minority populations. I have actively involved community residents in my research, conducting assessments to understand their needs and contexts. This approach aims to empower individuals to manage their own health through targeted health communication interventions. Methodologically, my work is grounded in extensive experience with mining big data, allowing me to uncover hidden relationships between various agents. 

Currently, I am at the forefront of the NIH-funded study HELPeR (Health E-Librarian with Personalized Recommendations, R01 LM013038). This project is committed to assisting ovarian cancer patients as they navigate online information resources.
