Itai Kloog, PhD
About Me
Itai Kloog is an exposure scientist and geographic information system (GIS) specialist with expertise in exposure assessment, environmental epidemiology, and geo-statistical modeling. He holds faculty appointments in the Department of Environmental Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. His research interests include developing exposure models, geo-statistical analysis, GIS and remote sensing, and evaluation of adverse health effects of exposure to air pollution and temperature extremes. He has published multiple articles in recent years on assessing spatio-temporally resolved PM2.5 and air temperature exposures for epidemiological studies. The novelty of some of the approaches Dr. Kloog uses lies in the ability to ensemble novel hybrid satellite-based GIS and geo-statistical methodologies, extending the spatiotemporal scale dramatically compared to the state-of-the-art. Additional research interests include the development and use of low-cost sensors (COTS) for environmental epidemiology modeling, the development and validation of mobile devices for collection of exposure data, and new geo-statistical approaches.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
