Research

The driving idea of my research has been that in order to better understand the impact of the environment on human health we must do a better job of characterizing environmental risk factors and exposures for human health research. This has motivated my interests in exposure science, geographic information science, climatology and meteorology, and environmental informatics. As a researcher, I am always seeking to address environmental health questions that are timely and important, which in my experience, has always required learning cutting-edge tools at the interface of exposure science, epidemiology, and biostatistics.
