His research focuses on understanding cardiometabolic health transitions and the development of cardiovascular diseases across the life course, working toward evidence-based CVD primordial prevention. His current work applies tools from cohort and surveillance epidemiology, clinical and behavioral intervention trials, implementation science, and community engagement. He is especially interested in adapt interventions to address disparities in CVD experienced by populations that are disproportionately affected, including Asian Americans and specifically South Asian Americans.

The Institute for Public Health and Medicine (IPHAM) hosted it's third in-person Population Health Forum on December 8, 2022.
