My scholarship centers on improving the psychological, social, and financial well-being of older adults, particularly among immigrant, rural, and other underserved populations. Through an interdisciplinary research agenda integrating social work, public health, engineering, and technology innovation, I have produced multiple peer-reviewed journal publications, multiple national conference presentations. My research addresses critical issues including loneliness, social support, health disparities, financial exploitation, and technology-supported interventions for aging populations. <10 Selected Articles> 1.
