Buwei Chen's work focuses on public health and environmental epidemiology, particularly studying how air pollution (PM2.5) relates to mental health outcomes such as anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation in China. Earlier work also explored using internet search data (Baidu Search Index) to predict disease incidence like HIV/AIDS. The listed OpenAlex topic tags related to materials engineering appear to be mismatched with the actual publication record, which centers on population-level health data analysis.
