William C. Hinds, Sc.D.

Professor, Environmental Health Sciences

Work Phone Number: 310-825-7152

Email Address: whinds@ucla.edu

Education: Sc.D., Environmental Health, Harvard University
Education: M.S., Environmental Health, Harvard University
Education: B.S., Mechanical Engineering, Cornell University
Research Interests: Dr. Hinds's research interests include fundamental and applied research related to aerosols (airborne particles) including properties, behavior, and measurement of aerosols, characterization of aerosols for workplace hazard evaluation, respiratory deposition of aerosols, aerosol formation, and aerosol measurement instrumentation; performance and evaluation of respiratory protective devices; and industrial control of airborne contaminants. He has more than 100 publications in this field including a standard textbook on aerosol technology.

Current and recent projects include the development of a multi-channel cascade impactor for task based exposure assessment, spatial profiles of ultrafine particles near freeways, nanoparticle exposure from industrial welding, and assessment of short-term health effects from exposure to freeway aerosol while traveling on a freeway.

Bio: William Hinds is a Professor in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences and the Center for Occupational and Environmental Health. Prior to coming to UCLA he was an Assistant and Associate Professor at the Harvard University School of Public Health. Dr. Hinds received a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University in 1962 and an M.S. and doctorate in Environmental Health in 1969 and 1972 from Harvard University. He is director of the UCLA Industrial Hygiene Program, director of the Southern California NIOSH Education and Research Center, and co-director of the UCLA component of the NIEHS Southern California Environmental Health Center. He is also a member of the EPA Southern California Particle Center. He is a Fellow of the American Industrial Hygiene Association and a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) (comprehensive practice).
