Assistant Professor of Health Physics, Purdue University
I am an assistant professor of health physics at Purdue University, and I am currently a visiting scientist at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, where I also serve as director for the HSPH NIEHS Trace Metals Lab in the Department of Environmental Health. I have a BS in physics and a PhD in medical physics and exposure assessment, both from Purdue University. I did postdoctoral training for three years at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in occupational and environmental health and epidemiology. In 2022, I was named a JPB Harvard Environmental Health Fellow. My thesis was built on perfecting the bone lead measurement of the bone scanning device. Since then, I have advocated for its use, and my colleagues and I have performed more than 17,000 bone lead tests in different communities impacted by lead exposure. Additionally, I have published more than 40 articles covering the use of this same technology used in bone lead measurements.
