About
I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago in the Department of Public Health Sciences. My research is focused on the relationship between climate- and weather-related extremes and public health. I have interdisciplinary training in environmental epidemiology (PhD, Yale University School of the Environment) and social-behavioral sciences (MPH, Columbia University, Mailman School of Public Health), which allows me to investigate global health issues from a unique perspective that incorporates sociocultural determinants of health and environmental exposures. I work with mixed-methods approaches and conduct qualitative research at the local level and quantitative research using big data at the national level. Prior to joining the University of Chicago, I was a Voss Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute at Brown University for Environment and Society.
