Soohyeon Ko

Bio

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences at Harvard University, under the mentorship of Dr. S.V. Subramanian.

My research centers on social epidemiology, focusing on unraveling the social determinants of health within global aging populations. I am particularly intrigued by cross-national comparisons, exploring how social factors influence aging-related diseases differently across diverse contexts.

I completed my M.S. in Public Health Sciences (Track: Epidemiology and Risk Management) from Korea University, where I was guided by Dr. Rockli Kim. I also earned B.A. in Public Health (Track: Health Policy and Management) from Korea University.
