Jia Liu

Jia Liu is a Research Fellow in the Neuroscience department at Yale School of Medicine, Yale University. Her research focuses on understanding environmental health impacts of air pollution, particularly wildfire smoke exposure and its effects on human health under climate change scenarios. She employs advanced epidemiological methods and interdisciplinary approaches to assess vulnerability in at-risk populations, including agricultural workers and elderly communities.

Her work integrates climate science, public health, and environmental policy to address emerging challenges in air quality management. Key areas of interest include particulate matter toxicity, multi-pollutant mixture effects, and the development of novel statistical methodologies for exposure assessment.

Recent studies highlight her contributions to understanding regional disparities in wildfire smoke exposure, healthcare utilization patterns linked to air pollution, and long-term climate change projections for respiratory health risks. Her research has implications for policy development, healthcare preparedness, and community resilience strategies in vulnerable regions.
