Hayon Michelle Choi

Hayon is a Ph.D. student at Yale University where she studies environmental epidemiology and the health impact of climate change. Hayon is interested in the relationship between hot/cold temperature and health, especially focusing on finding the gap between groups with different environment settings. The study is to assess the regional and urban-rural differences in mortality risks for both heat and cold within one state. Estimating the different exposure and response between groups can contribute to a more accurate assessment of temperature-mortality relationship and is particularly important given climate change.
