Léonard Boussioux, a final year Ph.D. student at MIT under Prof. Dimitris Bertsimas, is an incoming Assistant Professor at the University of Washington in Information Systems and Operations Management. His research addresses healthcare and environmental issues using operations research, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. He develops multimodal and prescriptive tools for integrating sustainability in business and policy. Collaborating with Google X, MIT Jameel Clinic, Harvard Medical School, OCP Group, and…
Younsoo Jung is a research associate in the Department of Environmental Health at Harvard T.H Chan School of Public Health, mentored by Kari Neadu. Her research interests are quantifying the impact of climate change and understanding the vulnerable groups to improve health disparity and help better shape health policy. She completed her Ph.D. in Economics at the University of Iowa.Her dissertation focused on the impact of Medicaid expansion on vulnerable…
Lauren recently graduated from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health with her master’s degree in Biostatistics. Prior to graduate school, she studied Earth & Environmental Science at Boston University, where she developed a passion for atmospheric science. Lauren’s previous research includes estimating mixing height over wildfire smoke plumes with NASA and quantifying excess mortality during heat waves at Mass. General Hospital Biostatistics.
Dr. Stowell is a Research Scientist in Center for Climate and Health at Boston University. She utilizes spatial and epidemiologic methods to examine the adverse effects of climate change on human health. Her continuing research is focused on expanding our understanding of extreme heat, prescribed fire, and wildfire smoke exposure on pregnancy and birth outcomes.
Ph.D. Environmental Medicine, NYU School of Medicine, 2019 M.S. Biostatistics, Yale University, 2012 B.S. Environmental Engineering, Columbia University, 2010 I am an environmental epidemiologist interested in exploring the increasingly available open data sources and data science methods to elucidate the relationship between environmental exposures and health outcomes. My research interests include evaluating the health effects of environmental exposures and application of sensors for exposure assessment.
I am investigating health effects of climate change, air pollution, and urban built environment. My early experience in serving as a student assistant for numerous government research projects of climate change and public health has cultivated my passion in research that can aid decision-makers in environmental health policy and urban planning. These policy-relevant research works include establishment of processes for applying indicators for food and environmental hazards in policy-making, improving…
Dr Carolina L. Zilli Vieira is a Research Associate in the Department of Environmental Health at Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, with interest in the impact of periodically oscillations of solar activity and environmental radiation on air pollution and human health. She has dedicated her career over the past 12 years to investigate the impact of solar activity and related parameters on human health. Since 2015, Petros…
Dr. Son is an epidemiologist with a background in biostatistics and a focus on environmental health. Her research focuses on 1) estimating the health impacts from environmental stressors on human health; 2) methods for estimating exposure to environmental conditions, primarily air pollution and weather; 3) the health impacts of different types of airborne particulate matter based on their chemical structure and sources; 4) effects for subpopulations, such as by gender…
