My name is Yoonyoung Choi (call me Young). 

I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Sociology at the University of Arizona, Tucson, beginning Fall 2025. I recently completed my Ph.D. in Sociology at The Ohio State University. 

I am dedicated to investigating population and life-course dynamics, with a particular focus on health disparities, social determinants of mortality, and the intersection of family, gender, and immigration. My research aims to explore the complex ways underlying health disparities and mortality trends develop, shedding light on how social conditions such as education, family formation, and immigration status affect vulnerable populations. Through rigorous quantitative analysis and empirical research, I examine the connections between social factors and health outcomes across the life course.
