NARRATIVE

My research involves the application of exposure assessment techniques using advanced statistical methods to investigate the determinants of exposure in both environmental and occupational settings. I focus on the evaluation of factors related to both the environment and to the individual that contribute to the observed variability in biological markers of exposure.
