Meredith Pedde, PhD, MPH, MPP, serves as an Assistant Research Scientist in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, where her environmental epidemiology research focuses on air pollution health impacts from mobile sources and neurological disorder associations.
Her academic credentials include:
- PhD in Epidemiology, University of Michigan (2021)
- MA in Statistics, University of Michigan (2021)
- MPH in Epidemiology, University of Michigan (2015)
- MPP in Environmental Policy, University of Michigan (2008)
- BM in Music Performance, University of Arizona (2004)
Dr. Pedde's research integrates air pollution exposure science, child health, and neurodegenerative disease investigation with strong emphasis on environmental justice and policy analysis. She employs advanced statistical methods to examine traffic-related emissions' health consequences, particularly through school bus intervention studies and ALS/dementia research, often addressing vulnerable populations' disproportionate exposure burdens.
Her publication trends reveal consistent methodological innovation including randomized policy evaluations (e.g., EPA School Bus Rebate Program impacts on attendance/test scores), sophisticated exposure modeling using satellite data, and systematic reviews connecting air pollution to neurological outcomes. Recent work demonstrates increasing focus on environmental justice dimensions within exposure assessment and health impact quantification.
No scientific awards are documented in available sources. While specific grant details aren't provided, her active research portfolio indicates ongoing funding for projects examining school bus upgrades' educational benefits and air pollution's role in ALS progression. Dr. Pedde maintains significant collaborative relationships with Michigan Medicine researchers and environmental health teams, though formal lab affiliations aren't specified.
