He holds a PhD in Epidemiology from Drexel, an MPH in Epidemiology & Biostatistics from CUNY Hunter College, and a BA from Sarah Lawrence College. His research focuses on HIV health disparities among sexual and gender minorities, intersections of data science with public health, and evidence-based interventions for infectious diseases.
LeVasseur's work spans epidemiological studies on beverage taxation policies, HIV prevention strategies (e.g., PrEP), and data linkage for occupational safety. He has contributed to high-impact journals like the American Journal of Preventive Medicine and Health Affairs, analyzing policy impacts and behavioral patterns. His research emphasizes both quantitative methods and real-world health equity outcomes.
Notable projects include leading analyses of Philadelphia’s beverage tax effects on consumer behavior and independent retailers, and modeling HIV risk reduction among men who have sex with men. Collaborations with institutions like the University of Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins demonstrate his interdisciplinary approach to public health challenges.
