He has trained as a pharmacist (BS in Pharmaceutical sciences 2013, MS in Pharmacy Administration and Clinical Pharmacy 2015) through College of Pharmacy, Peking University Health Science Center. He has also trained health policy researcher (MSPH in Health Policy and Management 2017) through Emory University. He is the student president of Tulane Chapter for International Society for Pharmacoeconomics (ISPOR). His current research interests include health technology assessment, health policy, and health care quality, access, and economics. His previous works have evaluated the impacts of Medicaid expansion in Louisiana, examined the cost effectiveness of newly anti-diabetic drugs, and explored patient preferences for treatment of rare diseases, electronic medical record risk modeling of cardiovascular outcomes among patients with type 2 diabetes, the impact of patent expiration on overall utilization of azithromycin in the U.S., as well as Quantity-based Pricing Mode for Centralized Procurement of Essential Medicines in China. His current research focuses on the impacts of reimbursement for non-face-to-face chronic care management (NFFCCM) services on multiple health outcomes, healthcare utilizations, access to care, and patient's costs among Medicare beneficiaries with diabetes and cardiovascular disease in Louisiana using multiple years’ statewide Medicare claims data.
