Tomás Janos

Visiting Postdoctoral Fellow Climate, Air Pollution, Nature and Urban Health

Tomás Janos is an epidemiologist with a strong interest in climate change health impacts. He is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow (MSCA-PF) CZ-OPJAK COFUND working in the project ANTHROPOCENE ("Advancing research on temperature-related occupational accidents in Europe: Too hot to work?"). His project is developed in close collaboration with the EU-funded project EARLY-ADAPT (“Signs of Early Adaptation to Climate Change”), investigating the environmental, socioeconomic and demographic drivers of recent trends in human health.

He holds a PhD degree in Environmental Health Sciences from Masaryk University in Czechia. During his PhD he investigated health risks associated with exposure to chemicals using human biomonitoring method. At present, he investigates the relationship between various environmental factors and health outcomes with primary focus on occupational health.
