Environmental exposure modeling and assessment

His research uses geospatial and computational methods for environmental exposure modeling and assessment, including spatiotemporally resolved models of air pollution and climate-related exposures.

Environmental health and disparity analysis

He also studies environmental health and disparities by connecting environmental exposure estimates with population and health data.
