Research Interest

I am deeply interested in studying urgent social problems including suicide, domestic violence, shelters and forced migration, with particular attention to how these issues affect vulnerable populations across different social contexts. My research employs mixed methods to examine both structural factors and lived experiences, aiming to develop evidence-based interventions that address the root causes of social suffering while amplifying the resilience strategies of affected communities.
