Biography

Welcome! I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University (Profile), affiliated with the Stanford Center on China’s Economy and Institutions (SCCEI) at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. I am also a Global Health Postdoctoral Affiliate with the Stanford Center for Innovation in Global Health (CIGH) and a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Stanford Impact Labs (SIL) .

My academic training is in global health economics. My research explores innovative solutions for effective delivery of public health interventions in resource-limited settings through rigorous experimental and quasi-experimental designs.

I have been volunteering with the Global Health Economics Working Group for building a community of health economists working in global health settings. Please join our community (here) if you are interested.

Please find my CV here and you can reach me at ywchenn@stanford.edu.
