Yinqi Chen will begin her PhD in Social Work and Social Welfare at the University of Michigan in Fall 2025. Her research focuses on the intersection of child maltreatment and intimate partner violence (IPV), with particular attention to how early exposure to these experiences shapes children’s emotional, behavioral, and developmental outcomes across the life course. Building on her MSW training and experience conducting research in the Child Maltreatment Prevention Lab, Yinqi aims to identify risk and protective factors that inform equitable, evidence-based interventions to support children and families impacted by violence.
