Yifei(Amber) Wang is a PhD student in Human Nutrition at the University of British Columbia, where she conducts research in nutritional epidemiology and population health data science in UBC Nutritional Epidemiology for Population Health Lab. She holds an MSc in Data Analytics from Tufts University. Her doctoral research uses Canadian national nutrition survey data linked with health administrative databases, integrating machine learning, network analysis, causal inference, and survival analysis to examine associations between dietary patterns, chronic disease, mortality, and life expectancy, and to further explore their potential causal effects. She aims to contribute to data-driven nutritional epidemiology by using population-level data and advanced quantitative methods to generate evidence for chronic disease prevention, public health practice, and nutrition policy.
