Dr Yu-Tzu Wu

NU Academic Track Fellow (NUAcT)

Background

I am an epidemiologist working on ageing research and my research interests focus on investigating the potential impact of environment on health and wellbeing in later life using quantitative analytical methods. During my PhD and postdoctoral periods, I have been working with several UK-based and international cohort studies and analysed complex data on dementia and healthy ageing. Before joining 缅北禁地, I worked as an epidemiologist/statistician for the Improving the Experience of Dementia and Enhancing Active Life (IDEAL) project at the University of Exeter and a postdoctoral researcher for the Ageing Trajectories of Health: Longitudinal Opportunities and Synergies (ATHLOS) project at King’s College London.
