Emma Brookman

Emma Brookman is a PhD student at South Dakota State University where she has completed her undergraduate and master's degrees. She is originally from Rochester, Minnesota. Environmental epidemiology has piqued her interest during her studies because of the range of actionable results and insights derived from this methodology. Investigating the association between air and water pollution and preterm birth was the topic of her master's thesis. She will be extending this research to encompass causal inference and environmental epidemiology with applications to environmental policy and public health during her PhD studies.
