The Flunker lab seeks to characterize, quantify, and refine spatiotemporal estimates of environmental and occupational exposures and associated adverse health outcomes among at-risk populations. Research areas of interest include exposures driven by extreme weather events and natural disasters, namely heat and wildfire smoke, respiratory disease, heat-related illness, cancer, biomarkers of exposure, and exposure-outcome statistical modeling.
