Dr. Yifang Zhu joined the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at the UCLA School of Public Health as an Assistant Professor in 2010. Prior to this position, Dr. Zhu worked as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Engineering at Texas A&M University-Kingsville starting in 2006. Dr. Zhu's research primarily focuses on field environmental exposure assessment and aerosol science technology, concentrating on the necessary data to fill knowledge gaps in quantitative exposure and risk assessments, particularly regarding ultrafine particles emitted from vehicles that have shown higher toxicity compared to larger particles on a unit mass basis. Current studies focus on identifying factors affecting human exposure to ultrafine particles near roadways and involve measuring and modeling emissions, transport, and transformation in atmospheric indoor environments. Dr. Zhu has received prestigious national awards such as the National Science Foundation?s Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award and the Walter Rosenblith New Investigator Award from the Health Effects Institute.
Department of Economics admits primarily for the PhD program.
