The Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) group tackles emerging challenges in environmental engineering and public health using -omics approaches. The current focus is on exposures that occur in the built environment, where we spend 90% of our time.
Indoor environmental contaminants are a complex mixture that represents an emerging environmental problem. The powerul combination of cutting-edge techniques from engineering with skills of environmental epidemiologists provides the opportunity for significant scientific advances.
We currently have opportunities for motivated students willing to tackle interdisciplinary research questions. If you are interested in collaborating or joining our team, please contact Karen Dannemiller (dannemiller.70@osu.edu)
