Liza Lutzker is an Epidemiology PhD student at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health. Her research focuses on how traffic safety outcomes and disparities in the US are affected by current and historical institutions, policies and practices which embed biases against poor people or racially minoritized groups. Her current project examines the efficacy of traditional police traffic enforcement on preventing fatal and severe traffic collisions. Prior to pursuing a PhD, Liza worked broadly in the field of environmental and occupational epidemiology at the Massachusetts and California Departments of Public Health and in the Environmental Health Sciences Division at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health.
