Jill Baumgartner is a joint Ph.D. candidate in Population Health and Environment & Resources studying environmental epidemiology. Her research is co-advised by Leonelo Bautista in the Department of Population Health and Jonathan Patz at the Center for Sustainability and the Global Environment with support from the National Science Foundation and U.S. Fulbright Program.
Jill is broadly interested in the environmental determinants of human health and disease at the population level and in low-cost technologies aimed at reducing environmental risks in developing countries. She holds an M.S. in Population and International Health from Harvard University (2006) where her research focused on water and sanitation technology assessment in developing countries. Her dissertation work will investigate the cardiovascular health effects of exposure to biomass smoke from indoor cooking and heating through a field-based study in rural northwest Yunnan, China.
Prior to graduate school, Jill worked at several nongovernmental organizations including CARE and Satellife (a Boston affiliate of the Academy for Educational Development). She also served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in the Sichuan, China where she worked in community development and served as a lecturer at a small college.
Jill currently lives in China with her husband, Brian, where they are both collecting data for their dissertations. Her other interests include hiking and exploring new places around the world.
