Biography
Dr. Hsieh is a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan's Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention, specializing in resilience theory and multi-domain analysis. Her research focuses on understanding disparities in firearm injury and chronic conditions resulting from racism and violence exposure, while identifying factors that promote resilience in affected communities. She leads a longitudinal study funded by the National Institute of Nursing Research (NIH-NINR) examining the interactions between structural racism and in-person racism in influencing firearm injury risk among Asian Americans. Dr. Hsieh also served as the Principal Investigator on a National Institute of Justice (NIJ)-funded randomized control trial that examined the effectiveness of an anonymous reporting system among culturally-diverse middle school students. She has also served as PI or Co-I on numerous research projects funded by NIAAA, CDC, NIMHD, DOJ, NCI, NICHD, and the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation, primarily focusing on youth violence prevention. Furthermore, Dr. Hsieh serves as the Evaluation Director for the National Center for School Safety and Prevention Research Center of Michigan.
