| Research Interest | ||||
Fei's projects have used population surveys and administrative data in the US and Canada to study food insecurity, health inequities, and social policies. His research - including over 13 first-authored SCI/SSCI papers - has been published in top journals such as CMAJ and Health Affairs, impacting policymaking in Canada and the US on minimum wage, basic income, child welfare among other topics. His work has been featured in mainstream media outlets including US News, Reuters, CBC, and Al Jazeera. Going forward, Fei will focus on evaluation of social policies (e.g., health insurance), social epidemiology (e.g., health inequities), and poverty issues (e.g., food insecurity). He is advising graduate students and postdocs; strong candidates with similar research interests are encouraged to send in their CV. | ||||
