I'm Eun Kyong Shin, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center – Oak Ridge National Lab (UTHSC-ORNL), Center for Biomedical Informatics, Department of Pediatrics (affiliated with Le Bonheur Children's Hospital). Bringing social insights to various empirical investigations, my work focuses on understanding how relational networks and social conditions are galvanized/utilized/intervened to diminish/exacerbate disparity in health outcomes, social inequality and  human development (particularly socio-emotional and cognitive). I bridge multiple analytic tools (social network analysis, statistical analysis, and machine learning) to discover and explain the social dynamics of patterns on the surface of our daily lives.
