Hi, I’m Ali Ling.

Ali is a Master of Public Health candidate at Boston University, a research affiliate with the Graduate Institute of Acupuncture Science at China Medical University in Taiwan and the MBI Lab Core Interface Laboratory at China Medical University Hospital.

Her academic interests focus on longitudinal care, non-pharmacological interventions, implementation science, traditional medicine, and AI-assisted healthcare.

Her journey began through years of studying traditional medicine under Dr. Wu Ming-Jie (吳明杰師父), whose emphasis on treating the whole person continues to shape her work. Today, Ali seeks to bridge traditional healing wisdom with modern public health, biomedical research, and emerging AI technologies to develop practical, patient-centered models of care.

Beyond research, she teaches Tai Chi, Qigong, breathing exercises, and healthy lifestyle practices. She also collaborates with clinicians, educators, community and faith organizations to make healthcare knowledge more accessible
