Chris C. Lim

Assistant Professor @ The University of Arizona

I'm currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Community, Environment, and Policy at the Mel & Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health, The University of Arizona.

My research examines how the environment impacts human health applying epidemiologic, statistical, and data science methods. I'm also interested in the potential applications of low-cost sensors and wearable technologies.

I completed my postdoctoral training at the Yale School of the Environment and hold a PhD from NYU School of Medicine.

Current Projects

Temperature and Mortality

Potential association between long-term temperature variability and mortality risk is examined in the U.S.

Greenspace and Health

I explore how neighborhood parks, trees, and greenspaces can affect our health.

Wearables for Asthma

State-of-art wearables are deployed to study real-time environment-asthma relationship in children.

Community Sensor Network

Air pollution prediction models will be developed using data from low-cost sensors installed throughout NYC.
