Christina H. Fuller

Christina H. Fuller, Sc.D., is an Associate Professor in the University of Georgia College of Engineering. She specializes in environmental health and justice, with expertise in exposure science and epidemiology. Her research addresses air pollution exposure, pollution reduction strategies, health disparities, and social-environmental interactions. Fuller holds a Sc.D. from Harvard University and a bachelor's degree in environmental engineering from Northwestern University.

Her work focuses on advancing equitable solutions for environmental health challenges, particularly in urban settings. Key areas include participatory research methodologies, the impact of green infrastructure on air quality, and the intersection of race, socioeconomic status, and pollution exposure. She has collaborated on projects in Atlanta, Boston, and Accra, Ghana, emphasizing community engagement in addressing systemic inequities.

Recent studies highlight her exploration of ultrafine particle exposure in marginalized communities, the limitations of green infrastructure in mitigating air pollution injustice, and the role of photovoice techniques in participatory environmental health research. Fuller’s research also extends to global environmental health disparities, advocating for increased research focus in underrepresented regions like sub-Saharan Africa.

Her publications reflect a multidisciplinary approach, blending environmental engineering, public health, and social sciences. Current research trends emphasize upstream interventions to shift environmental justice from documenting disparities to achieving equity through policy and community-driven solutions.

Fuller’s lab focuses on innovative interdisciplinary approaches to environmental challenges, with ongoing projects involving community partners to co-create actionable strategies. She has advised numerous research initiatives but no specific student names were listed in the provided texts.
