Biography

Audrey Dorélien is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Washington. She received her Ph.D. in Public Affairs with a concentration in Demography from Princeton University's School of Public and International Affairs in 2012. Her research focuses on the intersection of human population dynamics and health, particularly how environmental factors influence health outcomes across different populations. Her work examines the impacts of early life exposures such as climate variability, disease, and nutrition on health trajectories in the United States and Sub-Saharan Africa. Additionally, she analyzes how population dynamics and human behavior affect the spread and severity of infectious diseases, along with studying spatial demography and urbanization in light of health vulnerabilities surrounding climate change. Audrey has published extensively in journals such as Population and Development Review and Demography, and has taught various courses that emphasize data visualization and the social dynamics of infectious diseases.
