Students will have opportunities to learn about data science and systems science approaches, and apply them to study empirical problems across various health domains, such as utilizing the state-of-the-art technology (e.g., food image recognition, human mobility tracking) to study the community food environment, applying social network analysis to understand and facilitate the design of online health interventions, modeling human behaviors during epidemics, and evaluating the impacts of various food-related policies and community interventions on public health.
