“I’m interested in studying the effects of early life experience on child cognitive and socioemotional development using ecologically valid methodologies by examining how experiences from the physical and social environments jointly predict outcomes. I’m especially interested in identifying scalable strategies that can mitigate the negative effects of early exposure to chemical and non-chemical stressors on child developmental outcomes.”
