With over thirty years of experience on the Rutgers, Columbia, and University of Rochester faculty, I currently serve as Professor in the Department of Urban-Global Public Health at the Rutgers School of Public Health, Professor of Family Medicine and Community Health at the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, and as Professor of Family Medicine at the New Jersey Medical School. I am Director of the Global Public Health Concentration at the School of Public Health, and am Core Faculty in the Rutgers Global Health Institute. My research focuses on the development and application of computational epidemiology, network science, artificial intelligence / machine learning, and other computational modeling approaches to study global mental health, suicide prevention, and HIV prevention in global health. While my work is global in focus, in terms of populations of interest, much of my work has had a special emphasis on gender diverse and sexual minority youth and young adult populations in the U.S. and abroad.
