Paul Villeneuve

Paul Villeneuve is a Professor at the School of Mathematics and Statistics, Carleton University. His research focuses on epidemiology, environmental and occupational health, longitudinal studies, and case-control studies with record linkage. He explores the impact of environmental exposures on human health, including air pollution, occupational hazards, and chemical mixtures. His work spans diverse areas such as cancer epidemiology, public health policy, and environmental risk assessment.

Key research interests include the health effects of air pollutants (e.g., nanoparticles, PM2.5), occupational radiation exposure, and the role of urban greenness in mental health and chronic disease prevention. His studies often utilize large-scale cohort data and advanced statistical methods.

Recent work highlights associations between environmental factors and outcomes like cerebral palsy, breast cancer, and cardiovascular mortality. He also investigates the societal impacts of public health interventions, such as vaccination side effects and pandemic-related mental health trends.

Dr. Villeneuve collaborates with institutions like the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Mathematics and Statistics (OCIMS), contributing to interdisciplinary research bridging statistics, epidemiology, and environmental science.
