I am an infectious disease epidemiologist and veterinarian working at the intersection of global health, One Health, vaccine epidemiology, and Bayesian statistics. My research integrates veterinary medicine, epidemiological methods, mathematical modeling, and Bayesian statistics to tackle issues in infectious disease epidemiology, with two major foci: 1) One Health with climate change and 2) vaccine epidemiology. The overall objective that guides my One Health research is to propose climate-resilient measures to control zoonotic pathogens based on a better understanding of the transmission dynamics among/between humans, animals, the environment, and climate factors in resource-limited settings. For vaccine epidemiology, I aim to inform vaccine policy by developing novel analytic methods for intervention evaluation, especially in resource-limited settings where public health data often have various challenges that make it difficult to draw reliable conclusions. Through my research projects, I have had the privilege of working with local, state, federal, and international organizations as well as =30 countries in my career.

I received my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) at the University of Tokyo, Japan, in 2012, Master of Public Health (MPH) in Epidemiology at Emory University, Atlanta, GA in 2014, and PhD in Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases at Yale University, New Haven, CT in 2020.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility

Advancing health equity as well as empowering underrepresented students and community members is central to my academic research, teaching, and mentoring. I strongly believe that universities have an immense potential to provide life-changing opportunities to students, especially for those from underrepresented groups. It is my strongest passion to promote and sustain diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in academia so that future generations with any background can be empowered and thrive through higher education, which will ultimately benefit societies, above and beyond education.
