Research Interests
The PHISTA
Lab seeks to enhance our understanding of public health
informatics in addressing critical public health challenges
of our times. These challenges include disaster informatics,
informatics in vulnerable populations in health and human
services, emergency preparedness & response, and reduction
of health disparities. Our work resulted in more than
two dozen of peer review
publications, book chapters, and
National conference
presentations over the years.Media Communication
