Ibraheem M. Karaye is assistant professor in the Department of Health Professions at Hofstra University. Previously, he was a postdoctoral researcher and adjunct assistant professor in the epidemiology program at the University of Delaware. His research uses novel statistical and spatial methods to study disaster epidemiology, the health effects of mass trauma and conflict, health disparities, and global health. Projects have included an exploration of the physical and mental health of a large representative sample of the entire U.S. Gulf Coast population, as well as studies assessing risks to environmental contamination and barriers to essential medical care such as dialysis after disasters. Recently, Dr. Karaye utilized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry’s Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) to assess the impact of social vulnerability on the coronavirus pandemic. Dr. Karaye attended medical school at Bayero University Kano, Nigeria. He holds a Master of Public Health (epidemiology) and a Doctor of Public Health (epidemiology and environmental health) from Texas A&M University, where his research leveraged spatial statistical methods to describe hurricane evacuation shelter distribution and capacity in the Houston-Galveston Metropolitan Statistical Area after Hurricane Harvey.
