Top SchoolRobbie Parks is an environmental epidemiologist and physicist with 10 years of quantitative research experience, now a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and PI of the Spark Lab. He blends physics-trained rigor with epidemiology and biostatistics (PhD, Imperial College) to study climate-related health risks, including heat-health warning systems developed during internships with WHO/WMO. His trajectory includes a K99/R00 fellowship and postdoctoral work at Columbia Climate School, translating methodological advances into policy-relevant tools. Based in New York, he leads interdisciplinary teams that bridge climate science, public health, and data-driven modeling. An uncommon strength is his ability to turn atmospheric and physical models into actionable epidemiologic insights for decision-making under climate stress.
