King Wa Tam, PhD

PhD-trained researcher with over a decade of research experience in epidemiology, statistics, health economics and quantitative social science, from Australia to Hong Kong to Canada, plus consulting work for the World Bank.

I enjoy building agentic AI software in my spare time, where much of research still applies: frame the right question before the method, and treat a confident answer with the same suspicion as a significant p-value. Recent formal training in AI agents and generative AI sits in my certificates.
