Allan Carpenter is an environmental epidemiologist and an Associate Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Environment Society at Brown University. His research focuses on children's environmental health and the use of remote sensing for air pollution modeling through satellite data. He examines the health impacts of climate change and epigenomics, with particular attention to how temperature and air quality affect urban populations. Carpenter's work employs NASA satellite products and advanced spatiotemporal machine learning techniques to quantify environmental exposures to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), air temperature, and humidity, often utilizing large epidemiologic health studies and registries in Mexico. In 2022, he secured the NIEHS Outstanding New Environmental Scientist (ONES) R01 award for a five-year project on the relationship between extreme temperature, humidity, and air pollution on spontaneous preterm births. He earned his ScB in Environmental Science from Brown University and his PhD in Environmental Health Science from Columbia University, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship in environmental epidemiology at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Prior to joining Brown, he was a faculty member at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai until June 2023, and now holds an adjunct position in Environmental Medicine.
