As an epidemiologist, Dr. Oulhote’s research focuses on the health effects of early life exposures to metals (e.g. mercury, lead, and manganese) and endocrine disruptors (e.g. PBDEs, PFAS, and phthalates), with an emphasis on children’s cognitive and behavioral functions. Dr. Oulhote also investigates the application of machine learning techniques within a causal inference framework to explore the interplay of environmental, nutritional, and social factors, and how these exposures interact to impact population health.
