Helen Suh is a Professor at Tufts University, jointly appointed in the departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Community Health. As an internationally-recognized expert in air pollution health effects, she combines environmental epidemiology, exposure science, and data analytics to investigate how pollutants impact human health.
- Sc.D., Harvard University (1993)
- M.S., Harvard University (1990)
- S.B., Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1985)
Her research focuses on three areas: air pollutant impacts on cognitive performance and child development, multi-pollutant health effects, and GIS-based spatio-temporal modeling for epidemiological studies. Recent publications highlight her work on PM2.5 measurement error correction, hormonal disruptions in pregnancy, and machine learning applications in environmental health analysis.
Current trends include:
- Advanced statistical methods for exposure assessment
- Multi-omics approaches to cardiometabolic health
- International comparative studies (e.g., Tehran, Puerto Rico)
- Long-term mortality analysis in Medicare populations
- Pollution-immune system interactions in vulnerable groups
- Policy-relevant modeling for air quality standards
Helen Suh has served as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology and advised major U.S. and international health organizations. Her work spans over 150 publications and integrates multidisciplinary team leadership in environmental health science.
Her laboratory develops large-scale data analytics tools and spatio-temporal exposure models to support population-level health research. Current projects include air pollution and aging cohorts, urban environmental noise measurement, and epigenetic responses to pollutants.
