ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Dr. Brosseau received her masters and doctoral degrees in Industrial Hygiene from the Harvard School of Public Health. She spent her career as an academic researcher at the University of Minnesota and University of Illinois at Chicago, teaching graduate-level industrial hygiene courses and conducting research on respiratory protection and small business workplace safety interventions. Her early research with respirators focused on filter performance, comparison of surgical masks vs. respirators and respirator use in healthcare settings. More recent research focused on better understanding how respirators fit during work. Recently retired from academia, Dr. Brosseau continues to consult and advise on respirator topics. ABOUT THE LECTURESHIP: The Peter A. Breysse Memorial Lectureship was established by the Breysse family and friends in honor of Peter Breysse, associate professor emeritus in the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, to recognize his dedication to worker and public health.
