    Yuanying (Yuna) Pang is a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Information at Florida State University. My work bridges data science, health informatics, and human-computer interaction, with a strong emphasis on designing and evaluating AI-based interventions to promote adherence to digital cognitive training programs among older adults. I has published in journals such as PLOS ONE, JMIR Aging, and Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, and co-authored an ARIST paper on data quality assurance practices. I also contribute actively as a journal and conference reviewer (AMIA, PLOS ONE, BMC, etc.) and have received awards, including the Outstanding Doctoral Research Award and a Reviewer Award from the AMIA Informatics Summit. I was also nominated as one of four FSU candidates for the prestigious Google PhD Fellowship.

    Education

    • Ph.D., Information (Health Informatics), Florida State University, 2022–2026 (expected)

    • M.S., Data Science, American University, 2019–2021

    • B.S., Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, Hainan University, 2015–2019

    Research Interests

    My research interests center on health informatics, data quality assurance, and digital health interventions. I focus on improving older adults’ adherence to technology-based cognitive training through predictive modeling, personalized AI-driven support systems, and social interaction features. I also study data quality assurance in research data repositories, aiming to strengthen reproducibility, sharing, and reuse of scientific data.

    Teaching Interests

    I have taught and assisted courses in database management, information architecture, innovation and emerging technologies, and information technology project management. My teaching interests include health informatics, data science, artificial intelligence in healthcare, research methods, and information systems, with a focus on equipping students to apply computational and analytical skills to real-world problems.
