Biography

Marianthi-Anna Kioumourtzoglou is an environmental engineer and epidemiologist. She holds a Master of Science in Public Health (MSPH) from the Environmental Sciences and Engineering Department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a Doctor of Science (ScD) in Environmental Health from the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, where she also conducted her post-doctoral fellowship. Her research focuses on characterizing the impacts of climate-sensitive exposures on human health, with an emphasis on applied statistical issues related to climate and health research, including quantifying and correcting for exposure measurement error, exposure prediction uncertainty propagation, and assessment of high-dimensional and complex exposures in health analyses. Additionally, her studies aim to identify vulnerable sub-populations and characterize how risks vary across neighborhood-level and other urban characteristics.
