Assistant Professor

Faculty, Environmental Health

Jointly Appointed, Epidemiology

My research focuses on health effects associated with air pollution and persistent organic pollutant using exposure assessment and high-resolution metabolomics. I am particularly interested in measuring multi-dimensional exposures and elucidating the molecular mechanisms accounting for the complex health responses to environmental mixtures. This has involved extensive, primary field-based data collection, as well as laboratory-based analyses. More recently, I have shifted majority of my effort toward incorporating high resolution metabolomics and multi-omics into the investigations on the molecular mechanisms and disease etiology associated with environmental exposures.
