Education

Peking University

  • Ph.D., Epidemiology and Health-statistics (2012-2015)
  • M.S.,  Epidemiology and Health-statistics (2009-2012)

North China Coal Medical College

  • B.Sc., Preventive Medicine (2004-2009)

 

Research Experience

Ph.D. Graduate Research

  • Systematic review of risk adjustment for medical quality indicators and development of inpatient-specific risk score with large database of discharge summary reports (2012-2015)

  • Risk adjustment scheme of in-hospital mortality was quite different in accordance with populations. The new risk score outperformed the existing administrative data in China
  • Methodology study of the active surveillance of adverse drug reaction  based on common data model in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patient (2013-2015)
  • A common data model for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients adverse drug reactions active surveillance was established and its validity and benefits is under evaluating
  • Building a comprehensive hospital evaluation framework based on hospitalization discharge summary report data (2012-2013)

M.S. Graduate Research 

  • Application of modified randomized response technique in substance dependence epidemiological survey (2010-2012)
  • Using of the improved randomized response technique in this investigation for youth substance abuse behavior has good reliability and validity
