Summary
Kayla Schulte is an interdisciplinary researcher and Co-Director with eight years’ experience at the intersection of digital technology, visual communication and environmental social science, focused on how people learn about air quality through apps, sensors and online platforms. Currently an Early Career Research Fellow at Imperial College London and Co-Director of the Air Quality Communications Network, she translates sensor data and digital infrastructures into actionable insight for policy, public health and behavior change. Her work combines rigorous quantitative methods from a PhD at Oxford with design-led communication practice developed at the EPA and in consultancy, enabling research to reach both technical and nontechnical audiences. She investigates not only who is exposed to pollution but who gains from digital interventions, revealing inequities shaped by data access and platform design. Quietly versatile, she pairs academic publication with practical web and multimedia strategy to drive real-world impact.
