Associate Professor of the Practice
Engaging Communities with Participatory Modeling, Human Exposure to Air Pollution
Forestry and Environmental Resources
Jordan Hall Addition 2221
Bio
Jen uses geospatial analytics to study human exposure to ambient air pollution and works on environmental issues that have disproportionate impacts on marginalized communities. She develops modeling approaches to characterize the movement of air pollution in the built environment, how physical characteristics of the environment may act to modify human exposure, and how additional personal and neighborhood characteristics may interact with exposures to modify health impacts. Other interests include studying if access to data may empower communities to advocate for improved environmental conditions.
