About me
I am an environmental epidemiologist and physicist whose quantitative research is focused on climate change, public health and equity.I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Environmental Health Sciences at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health and an NIH NIEHS K99/R00 Fellow. Several of my lab's papers have been NIEHS papers of the year and month.
I teach the graduate courses (i) Atmospheric and Climate Science for Public Health, and (ii) Advanced Analytic Methods in Environmental Health Sciences at Columbia University. I am also the Lead Instructor of the Columbia University SHARP Course Bayesian Modeling for Environmental Health. I supervise several post-doctoral fellows, PhD students, Master's students, and undergraduate students.
I was a Columbia University Earth Institute/Climate School Post-doctoral Fellow from 2019 to 2022 with Prof. Marianthi-Anna Kioumourtzoglou, completed my PhD at the School of Public Health at Imperial College London with Profs. Majid Ezzati and Ralf Toumi in 2019, and graduated with a BA/MA (Oxon) in Physics from Keble College, University of Oxford.
