My research lies at the interface of occupational health and safety, economics and regulatory policies with a focus on addressing:
(1) health impacts of exposure to fine and ultrafine particulates using a combination of field and experimental data, and data analysis tools, and
(2) impacts and life-cycle analysis of policies and regulatory reforms related to health and safety using advanced machine learning tools, and development of an effective safety management system designed for the mining industry.
(3) ground control - hazards and safety
Common to these themes is the observation that mining often creates health and safety concerns and complex environmental challenges. This conflict is central to my research focus and motivates me to find and disseminate pragmatic solutions.
