Miranda Hill is a social and behavioral scientist and champion for addressing the social isolation, connection, and healthcare engagement needs of underreached and hidden populations.

Dr. Hill's research agenda aims to drive transdisciplinary innovation in social medicine through community-led and empirically informed approaches. She uses a community-engaged social network lens to explore the complexities between systems, social networks, and HIV. Her most recent line of research has centered on examining the contexts of HIV risk and healthcare (dis)engagement among mobile women, with the goal of developing multilevel interventions.

Dr. Hill is also committed to the long-term goal of advancing career development pathways in public health and medicine through research, peer support, and mentorship.
