Shuyuan Huang, PhD, MPH, RN, is an Assistant Professor/Faculty Fellow at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing. Her work integrates chronic disease prevention, maternal health, and minority health, with a focus on postpartum Chinese immigrants at risk for type 2 diabetes due to prior gestational diabetes. She leverages mHealth technology to design culturally sensitive physical activity and lifestyle interventions.
Her educational background includes a PhD in Nursing from Yale School of Nursing (2022), an MPH in Behavioral Science and Health Education from Emory University (2013), an MSN from Central South University (2016), and a BSN from Xi’an Jiaotong University (2010).
Huang’s research centers on understanding and improving physical activity, sedentary behavior, sleep, and cardiometabolic risk in high-risk immigrant populations. She employs objective measurement tools like accelerometers and develops interventions grounded in behavioral science. Her work is supported by NIH/NIMHD and the Heilbrunn Nurse Scholar Award. She is also a certified lifestyle coach for the CDC National Diabetes Prevention Program.
The trends in her recent publications reveal a strong commitment to health equity, methodological rigor in studying hard-to-reach populations, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Her work spans maternal mental health, food insecurity, oncology survivorship, and HIV disclosure, consistently emphasizing culturally appropriate, evidence-based interventions.
