At Purdue, I direct the Parenting, Race, and Family Lab, a research hub dedicated to advancing our understanding of the universal (etic) and culturally specific (emic) factors that influence minority youth development and health disparities. Our mission is to develop culturally adapted interventions that address the unique challenges faced by Asian and Asian diasporic families. My research has been externally funded by the National Institute of Health Clinical & Translational Science Institute (NIH CTSI) and the American Psychological Foundation (APF), and internally funded by the Purdue Research Foundation (PRF) and the Center For Families (CFF).
