Peter James, ScD

Peter James is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Health. His research focuses on estimating the influence of spatial factors, including exposure to nature, the built environment, air pollution, light pollution, noise, and socioeconomic factors, on health behaviors and chronic disease. He is developing methodologies to assess real-time, high spatio-temporal-resolution objective measures of location and behavior by linking smartphone-based global positioning systems (GPS) and consumer wearable device accelerometry data to understand how spatial factors influence health behaviors.
