About Me

I am an epidemiologist with a background in computer science and a Ph.D. in neuroscience. My research focuses on two main areas: environmental epidemiology and sustainable healthcare.

​

In environmental epidemiology, I study how environmental factors influence public health. Specifically, I examine the effects of climate change on women's health and child development outcomes. I also analyze the short-term impacts of heat, focusing on physiological processes rather than extreme outcomes.  Additionally, I explore issues related to causal inference in environmental epidemiology and methods for detecting and reducing bias in this field.

​

In sustainable healthcare, I study the environmental impacts of healthcare and ways to reduce them. For instance, I analyze the climate footprint of various healthcare activities, the circular economy in healthcare, sustainable anesthesia, and sustainable surgery.
