Taylor Hoxie completed her Ph.D. in November 2024 under the mentorship of Dr. Heather Stapleton. Her dissertation focused on assessing exposure to PFASs in the indoor and ambient environment. Specifically, her work included the utilization of silicone wristbands as personal passive samplers to measure individual-level exposure to PFASs and highlighted exposure to the more understudied polyfluoroalkyl precursors. Dr. Hoxie is currently a postdoctoral associate in Dr. Bill Arnold’s lab at the University of Minnesota. Her current research focuses on the analysis of quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) and fluorinated compounds (such as PFASs, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals) in environmental samples. Some of this research is conducted in collaboration with the San Francisco Estuary Institute.
