Her current work explores 1) transportation as a social determinant of health (SDOH) and potential solutions to accessibility-related health disparities; 2) the role of shared mobility and micromobility (personal mobility devices such as bikes, scooters, skateboards, etc.) in a safe, sustainable and equitable post-pandemic urban transportation system; 3) socio-spatial isolation and segregation in individuals’ daily lives and activity spaces; and 4) how mandatory inclusionary housing policies can help low-income households achieve home ownership and accumulate wealth. She holds a Ph.D. in Public Administration from New York University. She received her bachelor’s degree in urban planning and art from Peking University in China and an M.Phil. in geography from Hong Kong Baptist University.
