About
Longxiang Li is an Assistant Professor in the Gangarosa Department of Environmental Health at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health. His research focuses on environmental pollutants' human health impacts, particularly unconventional oil and gas development (fracking) and radon exposure. Funded by NIH, he develops satellite-based machine learning models to assess exposure risks. Before joining Emory in 2024, he studied/worked at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Education: Sc.D. from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health; M.S. from Chinese Academy of Sciences; B.S. from China University of Geosciences (Beijing).
Research interests include exposure assessment, spatial analysis/GIS, and machine learning applications in environmental health. Notable work includes high-resolution radon models and collaborations with the White House on radon-related lung cancer prevention strategies.
Key articles focus on radon's effects on asthma, cancer, and pregnancy outcomes, using advanced modeling techniques. His work bridges environmental data science with public health policy.
