I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Social Work and Social Administration at The University of Hong Kong (HKU). I hold a DPhil in Sociology from the University of Oxford, and my research lies at the intersection of population health, biodemographic patterns of health, social demography, and the dynamics of work and family. I conduct cross-disciplinary research to uncover how social determinant, biological process, life course experiences and environment intersect to shape and mitigate health inequalities. My research has been published in high-impact journals such as Nature Human Behaviour, PNAS, BMJ Open, Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, and Social Science & Medicine. These publications have advanced our understanding of how structural inequalities become biologically embedded, how energy and housing deprivation affect public health, and how genetic and environmental factors interact to influence life-course outcomes. I have presented this work at leading international conferences, and it has informed both scholarly and policy discussions—including contributions to UK governmental advisory reports during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to joining HKU, I held research positions at the University of Oxford, and WZB Berlin Social Science Center. I have also been affiliated with the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science and the Pandemic Science Institute. I have served on academic committees (e.g., Oxford’s John Fell Fund) and reviewed for a wide range of journals across public health, demography, and social science. At HKU, I am committed to building an interdisciplinary research program that bridges social science, public health, and policy impact—particularly through work on sleep, work-family balance, and (mental) health outcomes.
