Joshua Miller joined the Department of Epidemiology and Environmental Health in 2025 as a member of the Center for Climate Change and Health Equity. His research examines how individuals perceive, experience and respond to environmental challenges and resource insecurities, and how these dynamics affect nutrition, mental health and chronic disease risk across the life course. His current work includes developing globally comparable, user-centered tools that assess water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) accessibility and sufficiency in households, schools and health care facilities. These tools are being implemented in diverse settings to inform efforts to strengthen WASH services and advance climate resiliency and health equity.
