Dr. Phoebe Hwang is the owner and operator of Omniworks. She established Omniworks in 2016 as a pipeline for her community partners to work with experienced health researchers outside of the academic setting. Dampening the academic lens allows the work plan to stay true to the client's mission, vision, and values. The priority of Omniworks is to develop health research strategies that are translational, applicable, and efficient. 

Dr. Hwang was born and mostly raised on the windward side of Oahu. She received a bachelor’s in Biology and Dance, Master’s in Molecular Biosciences and Bioengineering, and Doctorate in Public Health. She specializes in life course epidemiology, community-based research, research methodologies, and health systems quality improvement. She’s consulted for several health-related organizations including American Lung Association, Ke Kula Nui O Waimānalo, Falls Prevention Consortium, Hawaii State Dept of Health, Pacific Survivor Center, Kahua Paʻa Mua, and Hawaii Breastfeeding Coalition to provide support in program evaluations, needs assessments, and strategic planning. She currently serves as the Director of Quality Improvement and Research at JABSOM’s Department of Psychiatry. She is trilingual in English, Mandarin, and Taiwanese. On her spare time she enjoys dance, yoga, aerial silks, and running her side gig as a graphics artist.
