Research interests include:

  • Environmental epidemiology

  • Children's environmental health

  • Air pollution

  • Extreme heat

  • Climate change

  • Vulnerability

  • Health disparities

  • Biomarkers of exposure

  • Environmental epigenetics

Skills

  • Big data management, cleaning & integration

  • Grant writing

  • Design and analysis of population surveys

  • Development of spatial-temporal models for health effects research

ABOUT ME

I'm an environmental epidemiologist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) with experience in air pollution and extreme heat epidemiology.

 

My research interests bridge climate change, vulnerability and health disparities research. At NCAR, our research team recently completed a study investigating the joint effects of extreme heat (indoors and outdoors) and ozone on the health of elderly populations in Houston, Texas. My ongoing research has helped identify socio-demographic factors that contribute to vulnerability and health disparities.
