Assistant Professor, Department of Population Health
As a social epidemiologist, my research examines the role of neighborhood and policy environments in shaping patterns of chronic disease risk. My current research is focused on two substantive areas: investigating the health equity impacts of tobacco control policies and exploring disparities in health outcomes attributable to ambient air pollution exposure. I received an NIH/NHLBI Career Development Award (K01HL169849) focused on integrating fine-scale PM2.5 data with electronic health record information to examine associations between air pollution and cardiovascular disease disparities among a cohort of U.S. Veterans. Other recent projects include exploring the impacts of smoke-free housing and traffic alleviation policies on patterns of air quality-sensitive health outcomes. I currently co-direct the Translational Research Core for NYU’s Collaborative Center in Children’s Environmental Health Research and Translation (CEHRT).
Previously, I was a postdoctoral scholar in the Population Health Science Scholars Program at NYU’s Grossman School of Medicine. I received a PhD in Epidemiological Science from the University of Michigan School of Public Health and a Master’s degree in Public Policy from Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government.
