My research program is aimed at elucidating the complex relationship between air pollution, social and molecular factors, and cognitive health across the lifespan. As a trained biostatistician (BSc, MSc, and PhD in (bio)statistics) and environmental and molecular epidemiologist (PhD and Postdoc), I have been driven to develop and apply quantitative epidemiologic methods to better understand the interplay between the environment, (epi)genetics and health. 

​

Supported by several major NIH/NIA awards, I have built a successful research program, which focuses on two domains related to the effects of air pollution on the brain and the biologic mechanisms underlying that association: 1) understanding the impacts of air pollution and psychosocial factors on cognitive decline among adults and cognitive development of children, and 2) characterizing the epigenetic landscape of air pollution and cognitive health.
