Bio
My research interests center on social epidemiology and HIV, with a focus on aging among older men who have sex with men (MSM). My planned dissertation will examine short-term longitudinal patterns of health autonomy and loneliness, whether these patterns differ by HIV status, and how autonomy and loneliness may influence one another over time. I am also interested in how psychosocial resilience supports health autonomy and whether loneliness may mediate that relationship, particularly for older MSM living with HIV.
