Bio

I am an anthropologist trained in both cultural and medical anthropology. I have 20 years of experience conducting ethnography/ qualitative research and have taught several courses and workshops on conducting in-depth interviews and thematic analysis. I am presently a Senior Research Fellow at Duke-NUS Medical School where I lead a dedicated team of qualitative researchers to achieve the following: evaluate complex health and social care models; identify and interrogate complex interactions between social determinants of health and ageing well; and assess built environments promoting socially inclusive and age-friendly communities. Over the past few years, I have been leading several research grants, in my capacity as Principal Investigator/ Co-PI, with a total funding of slightly over $2 million. To date, my team has interviewed over 700 community-dwelling older persons across 13 different research studies exploring these key research themes: healthy longevity; social isolation and loneliness; care transitions; community-based care models; lifelong learning; generativity and intergenerational engagement; mobility and age-friendly environments; patient activation and self-empowerment; and management of complex social and chronic conditions. My research ethos is driven by community-engaged participatory practices and culture-centered approaches to understand and address public health concerns related to older persons living in high-density urban cities.
