I am an Assistant Professor at the Center for Community Health Integration, School of Medicine, Case Western Reserve University. My research leverages computational modeling—grounded in Systems Thinking and System Dynamics—to explore complex health system challenges and inform policy and interventions aimed at improving population health through active stakeholder engagement.

My work focuses on developing rigorous, evidence-based, and stakeholder-driven simulation models to address strategic and operational challenges in health and social care. These models help evaluate the system-wide impacts of complex health and social care interventions, guiding effective intervention design. My primary research interests include primary care, chronic diseases, elderly care, population health, and health workforce planning.

With a background in Systems Science, I have specialized training in Systems Thinking, System Dynamics, Health Policy Modeling, and Health Services Research. As both Principal Investigator and co-investigator on multiple competitive grants, I have developed expertise in engaging stakeholders to uncover and analyze complex healthcare system behaviors, creating insightful, policy-oriented models to inform interventions.

I have successfully led research projects, collaborated with local and international scholars, and published extensively in peer-reviewed journals. Additionally, I have taught Health Systems Modeling to undergraduate and graduate students, including Ph.D. candidates and Preventive Medicine Residents. I have also conducted workshops on Health Systems Modeling for analysts and professionals across Singapore, Cambodia, China, the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia.
