Biography

Rebecca Beatrix Clarke is a PhD student and PhD fellow at the University of Southern Denmark, specializing in Child Psychological Development. Her research involves examining the influence of family environment and broader physical surroundings on cognitive development in children and young adults. Specifically, her work explores the impact of childhood adversities, such as material deprivation and parental divorce, as well as environmental factors like air and road traffic noise pollution, on school achievements and intelligence. Her research is part of a larger initiative, the Cognition Program, which collaborates with the University of Copenhagen and the National Institute of Public Health. Her quantitative approach utilizes register-based geographic information system data and various sources, including the DANLIFE cohort and school achievement data from Statistics Denmark, to model the effects of air pollution. Additionally, she contributes to projects investigating public health issues using large-scale data and epidemiological methods, particularly in social, environmental, and cognitive epidemiology.
