Ms Huiqi Chen

Research Fellow in Environmental Epidemiology

United Kingdom

Research Fellow working in environmental epidemiology with a background in epidemiology and biostatistics. My research focuses on assessing the health burdens and economic impacts of high temperatures and climate change across Europe, Brazil, and China. I am interested in climate policy, both mitigation and adaptation, and my research aims to inform and shape policies to reduce climate-related health risks.
