Expertise and Research Interests

Our recent research focuses on the application of information technology, particularly the G.I.S. and spatial statistics, in the improvement of health surveillance systems and provision of solutions for health disparities. Our team completed several public health preparedness/health disparities projects funded by the federal, state, and county health agencies. I am currently involved in 6 research and educational projects ranging from HealthIT to evaluation of community based breast cancer screening and prevention program.
