Research Interests
Bill's major active research efforts focus on environmental and occupational health problems in Southeast Asia, particularly Cambodia. Other ongoing or recent research interests include: workplace noise exposure and noise-induced hearing loss; work-related carpal tunnel syndrome, particularly treatment outcomes and disability; and the use of workers' compensation data for guiding occupational health interventions. Bill enjoys serving as faculty mentor for student-initiated epidemiologic research projects, focusing on environmental or occupational health topics, not necessarily limited to his primary research interest areas. Other past research interests include: solvent and pesticide health effects, neuropsychological sequelae of chemical exposures, and multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome.
