Hi, I'm Vincent, a researcher and data analyst at Taiwan Burden of Disease Center. I'm interested in utilizing a variety of quantatitive tools to tackle with population health problems. These tools include dynamical systems modeling, Bayesian hierarchical models, machine learning algorithms, causal DAGs, and network-based inferences. I am open to any cooperation opportunity related to these topics, either methodoligical or practical projects. You can take a look at my previous works below, and feel free to contact me.

You can see my current and completed projects below, or check the source code at My Github Page. Additional materials are vailable upon request. Apart from works, I love to practice resistance training, mind-body exercise and low-carb diet to boost personal health.
