Now: “Earl Stadtman Tenure Track Investigator” (or simply Stadtman Investigator) at the Division of the National Toxicology Program at NIEHS. My group name is the Spatiotemporal Health Analytics Group and we are developing spatiotemporal methods and applications in environmental and human health exposure science while also exploring innovative applications in toxicology. My website is below for more info.
