My research is divided in three main areas: First, I am interested in epidemiology looking at the health consequences of exposure to pollutants. To date this has had two focuses: health effects of lead and health effects of air pollutants. I have recently begun work looking at water contamination. In lead, I have examined cardiovascular effects of lead exposure in adults, cognitive effects in children, auditory effects in children, and…
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biostatistics at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The aim of my research is to develop statistical methods that enable maximally rigorous and impactful uses of data to answer environmental health questions. In particular, my recent work centers on (1) methods for estimation of the health impacts of complex environmental regulations and quasi-experiments and (2) methods for studying the…

Dr. Michelle Bell is the Mary E. Pinchot Professor of Environmental Health at the Yale University School of the Environment, with secondary appointments at the Yale School of Public Health, Environmental Health Sciences Division and the Yale School of Engineering and Applied Science, Environmental Engineering Program. Her research investigates how human health is affected by atmospheric systems, including air pollution and weather. Other research interests include the health impacts of climate change and environmental justice.
Gregory Wellenius, ScD leverages his training in epidemiology, environmental health, and human physiology to lead research focused on assessing the human health impacts of the built environment in the context of a rapidly changing climate. His team has made a number of notable contributions to our understanding of the health risks associated with air pollution, noise pollution, other features of our physical environment, and those posed by a changing climate.…
I am an assistant professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Florida. I completed my PhD in Biostatistics at Harvard University, where I also completed three years of postdoctoral training. I have a broad interest in statistics, but most of my research has centered around high-dimensional modeling, flexible Bayesian models, causal inference, and spatial statistics. I have applied my methodological research to a number of problems in…
Joan A. Casey received her doctoral degree from the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in 2014. Dr. Casey is an environmental epidemiologist who focuses on aging, environmental justice, and sustainability. She considers vulnerable populations and the implications of health disparities, particularly in an era of climate change. Dr. Casey also holds a BS in Biological and Environmental Engineering from Cornell University and…
