08.2021 - Current
- Lead analyst for the Ulcerative colitis research project, developed advanced SQL queries and analytics in Rstudio by applying statistical algorithms and clinical data science methods to interpret key points from the data, aiming to improving the quality of care for patients by providing researchers detailed reports.
- Taking leadership on the investigation of missing lab and comparison between pharmacy manual mapping and RxNorm result, which not only provided a brand new insight and a new way of working with medication tables but also supported future publications of RxNorm.
- Taking the leadership of upgrading MPR cohort generation code from using flat files to SQL database, parameterized the key data elements to accelerate running time and improved the data accuracy. Applied advanced SQL query and adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction algorithm in R. Collaborated with DQA team, data science team and management level, we've made a huge success and achieved a milestone together.
- Taking the leadership on Long COVID Data harmonization for two hospital sites, motivated to reaching out to external point of contacts and finding solutions to address raw data issues, conducting the data engineering structures, collaborating and communicating with team to create solutions for complex data problems. Harmonized over 100 non-derived variables for each sites and created the solution for the linking issue and over 80% patients were able to link to the database.
- Appointed analyst at ICES for ONCO project, provided comprehensive analyses to internal and external stakeholders by using SAS programming.
