Clare Wiseman is an Associate Professor at the School of the Environment, University of Toronto, with cross-appointments to the Dalla Lana School of Public Health and the Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences (Scarborough). Her research focuses on traffic-related metal and metalloid emissions, road dust contaminants, and their human health implications in urban settings.

Education

• PhD, University of Frankfurt
