I am Associate Professor of Informatics in the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Irvine.
My research interests lie at the intersection of human–computer interaction (HCI), computer supported cooperative work (CSCW), and health informatics.
I received my Bachelor of Medicine degree (MBBS) from the China Medical University, and PhD from the iSchool at Drexel University.
Currently, I serve as Director of the Undergraduate Minor Program in Health Informatics, Vice Chair of Undergraduate Affairs at Department of Informatics, and Co-Director for the Health and Information Lab.

Inspired by my own experience and training, I am interested in the interplay bewteen information, people, organization, and technology in healthcare.
I study how different stakeholders in healthcare access, document, share, and make sense of complex health data and information in their personal, professional, and social contexts. I am particularly interested in how these activities are mediated, communicated, coordinated and supported through technlogical tools from the sociotechnical perspective.

Students are the best inspirations and most important part of my work, please support these awesome researchers by reading their papers and collaborating with them :)
Like many others, these days I am busy working from home with my two lovely co-workers, trying to figure out remote learning and teaching at the same time. The best way to contact me is at: yunanc [at] ics.uci.edu.
