Health is not just biology.
I'm Jacky Huang. I study how place, trust, and education shape health—and build projects that turn evidence into something people can use.
01 / Selected work
Projects that make health legible.
YĚXĪ / Green Treasure Map
A Chinese-language field guide to 25 green trails across Guangzhou—built to make a slow walk feel possible.
PHAsco / iGEM
Engineering biodegradable PHA microbeads as an alternative to the plastic microbeads in cosmetics.
School Public Health
60+
classrooms reached
A wellness guide and teacher workshops on stress management and mindfulness.
Rural Health Education
First aid, hygiene, and puberty health lessons for 150+ students in rural Jiangxi.
The ZIP Code Talk
Why place predicts health better than genetics—and what that means for how we talk about health.
02 / Approach
Science gives us evidence. People give it meaning.
My work starts with a question and ends with something someone can use: a map, a lesson, a guide, a talk.
Start with a real question.
I look for the gap between what the evidence says and what people can actually use—a green space that is hard to find, a health lesson no one has time to teach.
Build with people.
The best projects begin with listening: to teachers, parents, clinicians, and students. I try to design with the people in the room, not for an imagined audience.
Make it usable.
A map, a lesson, a guide, a talk. If the evidence cannot be used, it is not finished. I care about the last mile between knowing and doing.
03 / Field notes
A wider view.
The parts of my life that do not fit on a résumé: muddy field notebooks, debate rounds, committee rooms, and a drum kit.
04 / About
A public health student who likes making things.
I'm Jacky (Chuye) Huang, a public health researcher and communicator from Guangdong, China. My work sits between biology and the social sciences: I study how place, education, and trust shape health, and I build projects that turn that understanding into something people can use.
I've mapped green trails across Guangzhou, taught health in a rural primary school, led a 22-person iGEM team, and given a TEDx talk about ZIP codes. The throughline is not a single issue. It is a way of working: listen first, make it usable, and keep the disagreement open.
