Research
Currently my research focuses on the spatial distribution of air pollution, its effect on public health outcomes and examination of the political, economic and sociocultural designations of urban space which lead to the uneven access of "clean air." I am currently working on utilizing a sensitivity analysis framework as well as a spatial lens in order to evaluate the fragility of published findings linking PM2.5 to COVID-19 mortality in the United States.
