Lief Pagalan is a PhD student in Epidemiology at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto. Under the supervision of Dr. Laura Rosella, Lief’s doctoral research focuses on developing a tool that integrates individual and environmental data to predict premature mortality in Canadian cities. This prediction tool will be used to model the effects of policies and interventions and to quantify their impacts on premature mortality rates in Canada. His research interests include predictive modelling, machine learning applications in public health, and the impacts of the built environment on population health. He holds a BSc in Geography and an MSc in Health Sciences from Simon Fraser University.
