Postdoctoral Fellow | University of British Columbia & BC Centre on Substance Use | 2025–present |
PhD | Simon Fraser University | 2020–2025 |
I am a health services researcher and my work focuses on causal inferences, and the application of innovative research methodologies to treatment and policy evaluation.
I received my PhD in Health Sciences from Simon Fraser University, where I was supervised by Dr. Hui Xie. My doctoral research, conducted at Arthritis Research Canada, focused on evaluating the long-term safety and effectiveness of biologic therapies in inflammatory arthritis as well as the impact of related policies using population-based administrative health data and innovative quasi-experimental (QE) designs.
In my postdoctoral work at the British Columbia (BC) Center on Substance Use, I am building on my expertise in QE designs, refining the methodologies and applying them to evaluate critical OUD interventions in BC.
