Biography

I am a clinical researcher. My research career has been devoted to advancing the understanding and management of symptoms in cancer populations, with a particular focus on improving patients' quality of life. My work centers on addressing cancer- and treatment-related symptoms, including sleep disturbance, fatigue, and depressive symptom. These symptoms are common among patients undergoing cancer treatments as well as post-treatment survivors.

I am taking on PhD students as an advisor.
