| I
did my undergraduate dental degree at the National Taiwan University
and then received specialist training in periodontology at NTU hospital
and Taipei Chang Gung hospital. I worked in a regional hospital for a
few years before started working in private clinics as a periodontal
specialist. In 2000, I went to London and did my masters degree in
periodontology at the Eastman Dental Institute, University College
London. My career started to change path. My supervisor Dr Mark Gilthorpe (now Professor Mark Gilthorpe, Director of Leeds Institute of Genetics, Health & Therapeutics at University of Leeds, UK) encouraged me to do a PhD in epidemiology and biostatistics. After I came back to Taiwan in September 2001, he moved to Leeds and managed to secure funding for my study. In May 2003, I went to Leeds to take up a position as Clinical Research Fellow and also worked on my PhD. I obtained my PhD in March 2006 and was immediately awarded a tenured 5-year UK research council fellowship. I got promoted as Senior Clinical Research Fellow and eventually Principal Research Fellow in Leeds. My book, Statistical Thinking in Epidemiology, written with Mark was published by Chapman & Hall in 2011, and I also edited a book, Modern Methods for Epidemiology, with my colleague Dr Darren Greenwood. It was published by Springer in 2012 . I took up a position at NTU in August 2012 after spending more than 9 years in Leeds and was promoted to full professor in August 2016 |
