PROFILE
Stephanie M. Wu, PhD
Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Division of Psychiatry, University College London
I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Mental Health Data Science and Epidemiology at University College London.
My work develops and applies statistical methods to complex health data—including survey data, laboratory biomarkers, and electronic health records—to address questions in mental health, nutrition, infectious disease, and health equity. My current research focuses on the real-world effectiveness of medications among people with co-occurring diabetes and severe mental illness. Previously, I created Bayesian weighted clustering methods for complex survey data.
I also develop research software tools, including R packages, interactive Shiny applications, and web platforms that make research methods and resources more accessible and reproducible.
