Dr. Kelvin C. Fong is an assistant professor and the Elizabeth May Chair in Sustainability and Environmental Health in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Dalhousie University. Dr. Fong completed his postdoctoral training in Michelle Bell's Group at Yale University after the doctorate in environmental health and epidemiology at Harvard University with Joel Schwartz.
Through research, Dr. Fong studies their health effects and investigates strategies to minimize detriments, especially among vulnerable populations. Lately, he focused on environmental health disparities, asking if certain population subgroups are more exposed to and more affected by exposures such as air pollution, heat, and natural vegetation (greenness). To do this, he develops methods to efficiently process large amounts of spatiotemporal data, then apply advanced epidemiologic methods to ascertain health effects. He extends his analysis using causal inference to estimate what health effects and disparities among population subgroups would have been had levels of environmental exposures been different.
