Research Focus
My research centers on issues related to providing personalized support to cancer patients and their family caregivers via information and communication technologies and systems engineering methods. My goal is to bridge the gap between patients/family caregivers and the broader health systems so that patients and their family caregivers may have timely access to the needed information and support or the proper treatment.
