  mentoring_philosophy: 'I believe as a mentor, students’ success is my success. I have been closely supervising students at all levels in the iSchool and other departments. In iSchool, new faculty are not eligible to supervise doctoral students until after they have undergone a successful third year review. Currently, I am the chair of the supervisory committee of two doctoral students and a member of supervisory committees of 18 doctoral students. My supervision of graduate student research through directed independent studies and research collaborations has resulted in more than 30 journal articles (e.g., JAMIA, JMIR, JBI, JMIR), 30 conference papers (e.g., AMIA, BIBM, MEDINFO), and 20 conference posters (e.g., ASIST, AMIA, ICHI, MEDINFO). In addition, I have mentored 9 undergraduate students in many different majors including Computer Science, Pre-med, Chemistry, and Biology, to name a few, through FSU’s Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP). My UROP mentees have presented their research projects in FSU’s Undergraduate Research Symposium and Florida Undergraduate Research Conference (FURC).'

    This research, conducted in the eHealth Laboratory, is led by Professor Dr. Zhe He. Specifically, we seek to study changes in blood test results in older adults that may be related to physiological and pathological conditions inherent to aging. Since many older adults have difficulty interpreting blood test results, the project aims to support the development of innovative and inclusive AI-powered tools to help them and their caregivers better understand these tests, thereby promoting their engagement, improving the quality of preventive and follow-up care, and enhancing treatment adherence. With an interdisciplinary team composed of experts in artificial intelligence, health science, and gerontology, our primary objectives are to conduct a literature review on fluctuations in blood test values in older adults, based on scientific studies involving a representative sample of the American older adult population. We will also create a database compiled from recent scientific publications, including, but not limited to reference values for blood tests in healthy adults and those observed in older adults, common causes of variations in these tests in older population (whether pathological or physiological), and characteristics of the studies, such as whether they were conducted with community-dwelling older adults, hospital patients, or residents of long-term care facilities. Research assistants will support the identification of relevant scientific articles for the scientific review and help organize and store these publications in a centralized database accessible to all researchers in the lab. Research areas include: Aging, Biology, Public Health, Biomedical and Health Informatics, and Clinical Research Informatics. We are also deeply engaged in advancing biomedical natural language processing, machine learning, and healthcare data analytics using a multidisciplinary approach.
