Heidi Hubbard
Heidi applies her experimental and modeling background to tasks ranging from developing and evaluating models to literature and data reviews for toxic chemicals. She manages technical and policy-related research to support environmental programs for private sector and government clients.
Heidi specializes in understanding exposure to consumer products such as cleaners and consumer articles. Other specialties include indoor and outdoor air pollution chemistry, healthy and green buildings, building decontamination, biomarkers, systematic literature review, and statistics and predictive analytics.
Heidi has led projects developing indoor consumer exposure models, conducting research to develop population-based exposure factors, including soil and dust ingestion rates, designing surveys and data searches to identify habits and practices around consumer product use, and conducting systematic literature and data reviews for toxic chemicals. She has also conducted experimental research, such as applying cleaners to carpets to understand the remediation of perfluorinated compounds and the impact of ozone generating air purifiers on indoor air quality.
Heidi earned a master’s in civil engineering and a doctorate in environmental engineering from the University of Texas, Austin.
