Yiang Li's research broadly focuses on: Social Demography, Health, Family, Aging, and Statistical Methods. His current topics of investigation use statistical and/or computational techniques to 1) examine the contextual drivers that shape and perpetuate health inequalities over the life course, especially the potential synergistic effects and interactions between neighborhood context, family dynamics, and social relationships; 2) uncover the early-life precursors and underlying social mechanisms behind stratified life trajectories; 3) utilizing the comparative approach to study variegated social processes along the life course led to diverging population health trajectories.
