My research focuses on improving water sustainability by investigating  emerging pollutants in the environment and developing novel technologies for water treatment and pollution remediation in different environmental compartments.

With expertise in water economics and spatial statistics, Maura Allaire’s research focuses on assessing equity in drinking water quality and decision support for water resource management. 

My research interest is environmental health methodology, including exposure assessment, environmental epidemiology, and risk analysis. Much of my work centers on quantifying human exposures and health effects of per- and polyflouroalkyl substances (PFAS) in contaminated communites.

My research broadly focuses on risk and resilience of adolescents with socially complex needs, trauma-informed integrative care, and the development of community-based family interventions.

My research leverages social networks and network dynamics to decrease new HIV incidences among at-risk populations, and she is engaging young Black adults in the development and testing of a mHealth-based HIV preventive intervention for young Black adults.

My research focuses on fluid flow processes which is critical for understanding the impact of a broad range of current environmental challenges including remediation of groundwater contaminants and nuclear waste isolation.

My research examines the historical development of environmental health science and policy, cultural dimensions of environmental risk and governance, and factors that contribute to disaster vulnerability.

My area of interest is environmental health, with an emphasis on the health effects of climate change on children and other groups experiencing disproportionate impact.

My research promotes health equity, community engagement and primary health care. UCI Family Medicine cares for patients in the context of their family, community, and environment. We consider biopsychosocial factors that influence treatment, outcomes and inequities.

My research focuses on global sustainability, resource recovery from anthropogenic waste, and life cycle thinking applied to engineering equity at the food-energy-water nexus.

My research interests involve communicating climate sensitive health impacts in community settings. and designing curricula and community or social media interventions for improved health outcomes and for policy initiatives.

My research investigates how urban development patterns intersect with neighborhood livability and environmental quality, including environmental disparities and injustice, time-activity and air pollution exposure monitoring in low SES communities of color, and knowledge and perceptions of environmental hazards.

My research interests include investigating the water quality disparities in disadvantaged communities and the health risk associated with exposure to poor water quality.

My research examines theoretical mechanisms through which social networks relate to health and health behavior, including social influence and social support, with an emphasis on adolescent social networks and drug use behaviors, in addition to ecological and systems models of health behavior.

My research leverages community-based participatory approaches to understand and address the contribution of environmental and other interconnected forms of racism to health inequities affecting low-income communities of color, including Latina/o/x communities.
