Lingzi Luo is an intervention scientist and a doctoral student at New York University School of Global Public Health. Her research interests are broadly in leveraging intervention optimization and implementation science methods to improve routine social and health services for vulnerable populations, especially those with chronic illnesses or mental health challenges. The ultimate goal of her research is to build learning service systems that are person-centered, efficient, and equitable. She had practice exposure in diverse settings such as community mental health centers, psychiatric inpatient units, non-profit organizations, local governments, and the World Health Organization headquarters. Prior to joining NYU, she worked for several years at Washington University School of Medicine on a national implementation science consortium to improve care for patients with sickle cell disease. Lingzi holds a B.S. in Psychology from Wuhan University and a dual-degree Master's in Social Work and Master's in Public Health with an individualized concentration in Integrated Health for Disadvantaged Populations from Washington University in St. Louis.
