Pauley Tedoff (Hugo Melgar-Quiñonez, Co-Advisor)
Pauley holds a Bachelor's degree in Anthropology and a Master's of Science in Environmental Health and has worked in international development since 2006. In 2009, after several years designing and implementing social inclusion programs in low-income countries, Pauley formally transitioned to the global health sector. She has worked for various ministries of health, intergovernmental organizations, international non-governmental organizations, and academic institutions in North and South America, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Her desire to conduct mixed methods research that has implications for both public health and the natural environment led her to seek out opportunities at McGill's Institute for Global Food Security. For her doctoral research, Pauley is working with the Institute on its collaboration with CARE Canada, implementing a four-county study in East Africa. Her analysis applies psychometric methods to elucidate the complex interrelations between social determinants, food security status, and nutrition status of children under five and their mothers.

Chinchin Wang (Ian Shrier, Co-Advisor)
Chinchin obtained a BMSc in Biochemistry from Western University and an MSc in Epidemiology from McGill University. Her PhD is focused on developing and applying causal inference methods to sports medicine, specifically determining how much physical activity can be done while minimizing risk of injury. Her research is funded by an FRQS Doctoral Award. She also works as an analyst for the Public Health Agency of Canada conducting physical activity and sedentary behaviour surveillance. In her spare time, she enjoys staying active through running, biking, rock climbing, and yoga.
