My research utilizes life cycle assessment and principles of industrial ecology to analyze and improve the environmental performance of medical systems, hospital design, healthcare practice, and medical technologies. My overarching goal is to develop a new field of specialized research focused on clinical sustainability, which introduces medical providers to data-driven, environmentally-preferable solutions while simultaneously developing and improving sustainability metrics and tools to better account for human and environmental health. 

Specialties: environmental sustainability, life cycle assessment, green buildings/hospitals, sustainable healthcare, industrial ecology, science communication
