My research focuses on employing massive datasets, including satellite-retrieved high resolution exposures and health data, to investigate how climate change and air pollution influence seniors' health. More specifically, my research is focused on: (1) application of remote sensing in environmental exposure modeling (e.g., predicting high-resolution PM2.5, ozone, NO2, and temperature); (2) estimating the health consequences of exposure to air pollution and climate change; (3) estimating the link between climate change and air quality, and the mediated health impacts; (4) estimating the joint and independent health effects of air pollutant mixtures; (5) statistical modeling, e.g., causal modeling and big data approach.
