I am an epidemiologist with an academic background in computer science, neuroscience and public health, and I am most interested in understanding links between environmental exposures and brain development. Much of my work is focused on autism spectrum disorder - a serious developmental disorder with increasing public health implications. You can find more information about me and my research in my Personal website.
