Health Impact Assessment Team Based Learning Exercise
This activity was used in the Public Health Impacts of Climate Change class at the Columbia Mailman School of Public Health in Spring 2018 , an 80-minute class with ~30 students. The exercise took 40 minutes to complete.
In this exercise, student worked in assigned groups to complete a guided health impact assessment simulated after an actual research project. The methods introduced in this assignment serve as the foundation of a large portion of the course.

Sample Assessment Questions
These are sample group quiz questions that I developed for the Public Health Impacts of Climate Change class at the Columbia Mailman School of Public Health, most recently utilized in Spring 2019.
These short-answer quiz questions are designed to stimulate group discussion and provoke critical thinking. The questions follow a similar theme to draw connections in the course material throughout the semester.

Lecture: A Brief History of Air Pollution and Health
This is a guest lecture that I delivered for the Atmospheric and Climate Science for Public Health Class at the Columbia Mailman School of Public Health in Fall 2019. This was an 80-minute lecture for a class of ~10 students.
This lecture introduces students to research in air pollution and health, focusing on key methods used in the field, landmark historic studies, as well as current and future research directions.

Lecture: Public Health Perspective of Air Pollution and Climate Change
This is a guest lecture that I delivered for the Introduction to Atmospheric Chemistry Class at Columbia University in Spring 2019. This was an 80-minute lecture for a class of ~10 students.
This lecture is targeted towards upper level undergraduates and graduate students studying atmospheric sciences with limited exposure to public health research. The talk focuses on two air pollutants, ozone and particulate matter, and discuss their health impacts in the context of atmospheric chemistry, epidemiology, and climate change research.

Sample Activity: Public Health in Classical Music
This is a sample activity that I developed for the Public Health in Classical Music course. The course has not yet been taught.
This is a sample of an in-class handout that I plan to utilize for the course, which will be divided into several modules that feature different topics but each following a similar structure.
