My interest in the Health Data Exploration Network derives from my general interests in practical causal inference for personalized health interventions, self-tracking and self-experimentation, n-of-1 trials, precision medicine, mobile health, Asian-American and Filipino-American health, and gut-microbiome research. I also research longitudinal missing-data methods, and hope to develop and encourage reproducible or replicable study designs.
I joined the Stanford Prevention Research Center in 2015 after completing my Doctor of Public Health program in biostatistics at UNC Chapel Hill. My dissertation, “Longitudinal Regression Conditioning on Continuation,” was completed under co-advisors Michael Hudgens and Amy Herring, and committee members John Preisser, Jr., Steve Cole, and Linda Adair. My work addressed longitudinal outcomes that may have been missing or truncated.*
I have worked in the pharmaceutical industry, clinical-trials and survey-sampling consulting, and international nutrition and maternal/child health research.
*A study participant’s missing outcome is assumed to exist, albeit unobserved. In contrast, an event such as death may be considered to render a study participant’s future outcomes nonexistent. We called such an event a truncating event.Public Health, Research methods, Data Science, Informatics and Statistics, Social Justice / Digital Divide

I am a Biomedical Information scientist with research interests at the interface of precision medicine, participatory health and health informatics. The use of social media and personal sensors opens up new possibilities in terms of assessing the genome, phenome and exposure of individuals to risk factors and life habits. This poses huge challenges for health informatics in terms of processing big (and small) data and their applications to improve individual health, clinical research and public health. Very aware of the many unknowns and the need for evidence and further research, I still think that we will see these approaches in routine healthcare.
The HDEP and Network represent an unique opportunity to discuss those aspects and interact with a community of researchers, health practitioners and consumer groups in order to generate this evidence, address ethical and legal issues and pilot new information systems connecting multilevel individual sources of health data.Public Health, Research methods, Data Science, Informatics and Statistics, Social Media, Devices

I am a clinical psychologist and the Director of Digital Health Interventions in the Department of Psychiatry at North Shore LIJ Health System. I was the Director of Research and Development at Helicor, the makers of the first portable Heart Rate Variability device and the founder of Mobile Health Interventions. My current research focuses on interventions developed by end users and methods to harness consumer content and data to build effective behavior change tools. I have NIH grants but also focus on real-world implementation of mobile interventions. In addition, I teach a class at NYUs Interactive Telecommunications graduate program on developing technology based interventions for mindful wellbeing. I am very interested in working with a network of individuals interested using novel research methods to improve public health via low hanging fruit interventions.
