Academic interests:

I lead the Spatial Health Lab at OSU that examines the connections between place and human health and wellbeing. My research focuses broadly on environmental exposure assessment and epidemiology – with applications to air pollution, healthy built environments, and climate resilience. I am an avid collaborator and believe that the most pressing environmental health problems must be addressed with interdisciplinary team science.

Biography

Perry received his MSc in Geography from the University of Victoria and his doctorate in Epidemiology from the University of British Columbia.
