Air Quality, Exposure, and Environmental Justice
Our group studies air pollution, human exposure, health impacts, and environmental justice. We develop models, collect fieldwork data, and analyze large datasets to understand who is exposed to pollution, how exposures vary across communities, and what interventions reduce health burdens and disparities. We collaborate across engineering, public health, policy, and economics.
Recent projects include:
- High spatial-resolution modeling of air pollution at national and global scales
- Distributional analyses of air pollution exposures by race and income
- Investigating how policy can priority equity in ambient air quality
- Mobile monitoring in U.S. and international cities
- High-efficiency modeling (the InMAP model) for scientific and policy applications, including in the U.S. and in India
- Indoor/outdoor exposure in low- and middle-income countries (e.g., India)
- Randomized control trials and double-blind crossover studies, for indoor air pollution interventions.
Our work appears in Science, PNAS, Nature Sustainability, Environmental Science & Technology, and related journals. My research has been cited more than 25,000 times, according to Google Scholar; I am among the top 10 most cited researchers in the past 5 years in air pollution and in environmental justice. I previously served on the U.S. EPA Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (NOx panel) and I have been an expert witness in lawsuits regarding air pollution exposures.
I direct the Grand Challenges Impact Lab (GCIL) and I am an adjunct professor in Global Health.
