About the speaker:
Dr. Ilan Cerna-Turoff is a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in the Department of Epidemiology at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. Prior to his doctoral degree at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Dr. Cerna-Turoff conducted population-based surveys and evaluations in Asia, Africa, and Latin America for nearly a decade. His professional experience highly informs his praxis of teaching, research, and engagement of audiences inside and outside of academia. Dr. Cerna-Turoff’s scholarship seeks to estimate complex and multilevel interactions across social, environmental, and climate-relevant exposures and their association with population health. A central branch of his research focuses on the effect of climate-related displacement and disasters on mental health and violence against children in low- and middle-income countries. By focusing on understudied drivers of climate change, Dr. Cerna-Turoff aims to produce high-quality and actionable evidence to inform policy and interventions that improve health equity globally, especially for women, adolescents, and children. Dr. Cerna-Turoff sits on the Child Health Accountability Tracking technical advisory group of the World Health Organization (WHO) for global measurement and indicators of child health and the Editorial Board for BMC Global and Public Health. He was a Fulbright research grantee and is a US National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) MOSAIC K99/R00 recipient.
