Dr. Amanda M. Wilson studies microbial exposure and risk assessment, risk-risk tradeoffs, human behavior, and exposure modeling. She received her PhD in environmental health sciences at the University of Arizona and her postdoctoral training at the Rocky Mountain Center for Occupational and Environmental Health in the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, University of Utah. She was awarded a Mentored Research Scientist Career Development Award (K01) from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to address asthma and microbial risk-risk tradeoffs for healthcare workers conducting surface cleaning and disinfection. She was also awarded a Catalyst Award from the American Lung Association to develop a risk assessment tool for school nurses to reduce the spread of respiratory viral diseases in schools. Other projects include a U.S. Army-funded effort to evaluate risk perceptions of Arizona residents regarding advanced water purification and using this knowledge to improve community engagement and outreach and an Arizona Board of Regents-funded project to understand risk perceptions of Arizonans related to biosolid applications. Dr. Wilson is a 2024 alumna of The Grainger Foundation Frontiers of Engineering, National Academy of Engineering cohort and seeks to apply exposure science and engineering methodologies with meaningful community engagement to increase public health impact.
