Brief Biography
I have a broad background in epidemiology, with extensive training and expertise in environmental epidemiology and nationwide claims data analyses. During my study at the University of Pittsburgh, I was trained as an environmental epidemiologist and heavily involved in research related to the health effects of air pollution on birth outcomes. After joining Dr. Ritz’s research group at UCLA as a postdoc, I received genetic statistical training and began working on genetics of Parkinson’s disease. After returning to Taiwan, I started to analyze Taiwanese nationwide claim data again with a focus on birth outcomes and Parkinson’s disease.

Expertise
