Wen Su is a trained demographer specialising in demographic methods. Currently, he is a postdoctoral researcher with the Demographic Science Unit. Wen’s primary research focus is on developing and refining demographic methodologies using statistics and mathematics to measure and analyse mortality patterns in sub-populations below the national level. Additionally, he is interested in understanding gender differences in mortality.

Wen recently completed his PhD in Demography at the Australian National University (ANU). During his doctoral studies, he served as a research assistant at ANU’s School of Demography and as a casual sessional academic, teaching undergraduate and postgraduate courses in demographic methods. He also worked as a research officer at the Centre for Indigenous Policy Research, providing statistical support to projects aimed at improving living conditions for Indigenous populations in Australia. Wen’s research reflects his passion for applying mathematical and statistical methods to analyse and understand the mortality patterns of subpopulations, with a focus on identifying disparities and improving insights into their health outcomes globally.
