Biography: 

I am an associate professor at 海角社区. My primary research areas are public health policy, ethics, and epistemology. I study the ways that 'black boxes' of all sorts - from seemingly objective measures of health and health inequalities, to complex algorithms - are shaped by human interests and hidden value judgments, which in turn shape individual decisions, collective behaviors, and public policies.
