Working with me

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Informatics at the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences (ICS) and the Institute for Clinical and Translational Science (ICTS) at the University of California, Irvine. I direct research in the Center of Biomedical Informatics (CBMI).

My research interests lie in the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI) and Medical Informatics. In particular, I am interested in designing and evaluating interactive systems to support clinical collaboration, clinical documentations, patient-provider interactions and health information management among chronic care patients.  I am a member of ACM SIGCHI and American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA).

I graduated with a Ph.D. from the iSchool at Drexel University in 2008 and a Medicine Degree from China Medical University in 2003.

If you are already a student at UCI and are interested in research in Medical Informatics, please email me. In the past, I have worked with students in Informatics, Public Health and other biomedical related programs.

I am organizing a workshop at CHI 2012: “Bridging Clinical and Non-clinical Health Practices: opportunity and challenges.” If you are interested, email your position paper to me by Jan 10, 2012.
