Professor Oulhote is Assitant Professor of Epidemiology at University of Massachusetts Amherst. He received his Engineering degree from the National Institute of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences in Morocco, a Master’s degree in Risk assessment from the AgroParisTech Engineering School in Paris, and a PhD from the French National School of Public Health. He worked as a research associate within the Environmental and Occupational Medicine & Epidemiology program at Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health where he investigated health effects of chemicals. As an epidemiologist, Prof Oulhote’s research focuses on the health effects of early life exposures to metals (e.g. mercury, lead, and manganese) and endocrine disruptors (e.g. PBDEs, PFAS, and phthalates), with an emphasis on children’s cognitive and behavioral functions. Prof Oulhote also investigates the application of machine learning techniques within a causal inference framework. Finally, Prof Oulhote’s research explores the interplay of environmental, nutritional and social factors, and how these exposures interact to impact population health.
