Dr. Danesh Yazdi is an environmental epidemiologist who studies the relationship between air pollution, climate change, and human health. In particular, her research focuses on using causal methods and big data to look at the effects of exposure to environmental risk factors. She also works on topics relating to exposure assessment and epigenetics.
