Kathrin is an environmental epidemiologist and has a background in statistics. Her main research interests include the impact of short- and long-term effects of air pollution, noise, meteorolgy and greenspace on cardiometabolic outcomes. She has a strong focus on GIS data and tools to estimate and visualize spatial concentrations of air pollutants, noise and temperature, including machine learning approaches. In addition, she is also interested in metadata standards for epidemiological cohort data.
