Qinqin Kong
Postdoctoral Scholar, General Internal Medicine
BioI am currently a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Departments of Medicine and Health Policy at Stanford University, after earning a PhD in atmospheric science from Purdue University. My research interests lie at the intersection of climate change—particularly extreme heat—and human society. I aim to advance our understanding of the physical mechanisms, cascading impacts, and the effectiveness of potential mitigation strategies for human heat stress. My PhD research focused on how land-atmosphere interactions modulate heat stress, as well as the economic and energy impacts of increasing heat stress in the context of climate change. My postdoctoral research at Stanford evaluates the impact of heat stress on public health, especially human fertility, in low- and middle-income countries. My methodological areas of expertise include climate modeling, human biophysics modeling, and econometric modeling, which I am further developing at Stanford.
