Liying Wang

I received my B.S. in Biomedical English with a minor in psychology from Peking University in 2017. In the same year, I received M.Sc. from the University of Edinburgh. From 2017 to 2018, I was a research assistant at the Cohen Lab at Stanford University, assisting with data analyses and experiment setup. I’m broadly interested in mHealth psychological interventions for people living with chronic conditions and mild mental health conditions. My dissertation is looking at the acceptability and feasibility of a WeChat-based mini-program for ART adherence for people newly diagnosed with HIV in China. I’m also interested in the role of big data in personalizing mental health services, building models to predict the onset of and trajectory of mental health conditions, creating therapeutic chatbots using natural language processing and other machine learning methods.
