I'm an environmental epidemiologist, whose research investigates the relationship between human health and complex environmental exposures. I have a particular interest in evaluating how extreme weather (drought, heat, precipitation), air pollution, and climate influence population-level health. I frequently use spatial analysis and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to improve exposure assessment and better understand the role of environment with disease outcomes, including spatial and neighborhood disparities in risk. Most of my research involves analysis of large data sources (e.g. electronic health records), but more recent work has evaluated smaller datasets and personal exposure data. My work emphasizes policy relevant findings that can inform decision making to better protect public health.

Expertise

Air pollution, drought, environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment, GIS, spatial analysis, weather.
