RGSS Assistant Professor of Epidemiology

Overview

I am the RGSS Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at the Brown University School of Public Health. I have extensive experience with environmental exposure assessments, environmental exposure modeling, community surveying, and community engagement. I also run Community Noise Lab, here. Our lab’s primary aim is to explore the relationship between community noise and health, holistically. We accomplish this by working directly with communities to support their specified noise issue using: real-time monitoring and exposure modeling; our smartphone app, NoiseScore; community noise surveying via our National Environmental Quality Survey; laboratory-based experiments, and community engagement activities.  

We are currently working in my home state of Mississippi. I am the Principal Investigator of the Mississippi Adolescent Environmental Health Study (MAEHS), a longitudinal environmental health cohort study. We are examining how air, noise, water, soil, and visual pollution impact the health and well-being of children across Mississippi. 

Topics of interest include exposures resulting from illegal dumping, wood pellet manufacturing, and poor water quality.
