My Research

My work focuses on using computational methods to make complex systems more interpretable, actionable, and useful for decision-making. I have contributed to research on LLM bias, explainability, text mining, online communication, science-of-science, and digital humanities, with publications in venues including Nature Communications, Nature Human Behaviour, IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, and Artificial Intelligence in Medicine.

I am especially interested in translational, cross-disciplinary research that connects technical innovation with real-world application. Across funded projects, industry collaboration, and academic leadership, I work to build data-driven approaches that are rigorous, explainable, and practical for stakeholders.
