About
Osiloke H. Emoekpere is a leading researcher in environmental exposure science, with a focus on understanding how young children—particularly those aged 6 to 36 months—are exposed to indoor airborne contaminants. His work centers on the critical insight that traditional stationary air samplers underestimate the true exposure of mobile toddlers, whose behaviors resuspend particulate matter and bioaerosols. To address this, Emoekpere spearheaded the development of the Pretoddler Inhalable Particulate Environmental Robotic (PIPER Mk IV) Sampler, a robotic platform that mimics a child’s movements to capture more accurate, personalized exposure data. His landmark 2011 paper on PIPER’s design and in-home testing has garnered 24 citations, while a companion study on bioaerosol exposure has 22 citations. A 2014 study further demonstrated that PIPER-based sampling improved the characterization of exposures linked to respiratory symptoms, asthma, and eczema, earning 16 citations. Emoekpere’s innovative approach bridges engineering and epidemiology, providing a transformative tool for unraveling the environmental origins of childhood diseases and informing more effective public health interventions.
