Research Interests
Environmental Exposure Assessment, Environmental Epidemiology, and Environmental Health Disparity
Research Abstract
Dr. Wu’s interests focus on population-based research of environmental exposure assessment, environmental epidemiology, and environmental health disparity. She has extensive experience and knowledge in examining the joint influences of various environmental exposures (e.g. air pollution, climate, and built environment such as green space) and socioeconomic factors on reproductive outcomes (e.g. maternal and fetal health), children’s health, and other health endpoints. She also has strong interest in research on environmental justice and environmental health disparity, particularly working in partner with communities.
