Summary
I am an engineer and aerosol scientist by training. My research and teaching revolve around the assessment and control of environmental exposures, especially those occurring in workplace environments, with special expertise in measuring and reducing exposures to airborne viruses and bacteria and semi-volatile aerosols. I direct the University of Minnesota Occupational Hygiene MS and PhD degrees and serve as Principal Investigator for the Midwest Consortium for Hazardous Waste Worker Training, which is a collaboration of 13 training centers in nine states that deliver model training programs to people who may be exposed to hazardous substances at work or in their communities. I led the development of online occupational hygiene educational modules related to nanotechnology health and safety through the Midwest Emerging Technologies Public Health and Safety Training (METPHAST) Program.
