Training Program: PhD in Health Services and Policy Research, School of Public Health, University of Alberta
Robin Lau was born and raised in Edmonton and graduated from the University of Alberta in 2008 with a Master of Science in Health Policy Research. After his masters degree, Robin accepted an internship with CIDA and was placed in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Robin realized that he was interested in continuing with school and decided to pursue a PhD under the supervision of Dr. Jeffrey A. Johnson. Robin is currently in his first year of his PhD program and is now in the process of researching and modeling the cost-effectiveness of diabetes prevention in Alberta. When not busy working on coursework and his dissertation, Robin is also volunteering at the Telus World of Science as a Gallery Interpreter, with his primary job of engaging parents and inspiring children into learning about the wonders of the body and the beauty of natures’ design. In his spare time, Robin is currently learning how to play classical guitar, how to speak Mandarin, and hopes to learn to ballroom dance in the near future. He enjoys jogging, badminton, swimming, weight training and traveling. His travels have taken him to India, China, Hong Kong, United Arab Emirates, Bali and Singapore and have provided him with a richer understanding and appreciation for other cultures. He hopes to continue his travels after he graduates.
