Through the course of her career, she has acquired a wide range of experience in consulting, research at the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and work in the chemical industry.

Specifically, Dr. Owen has provided onsite industrial hygiene support to clients across a wide variety of industries and assisted clients in complying with EPA requirements for risk assessments for existing chemicals under TSCA (including exposure monitoring at multiple sites and statistical analysis of large data sets with unique challenges such as handling nondetected values). In addition, she has extensive experience in modeling inhalation dosimetry and dose-response modeling, as well as modeling indoor air.

Dr. Owen’s expertise and research interests include exposure assessment and modeling, statistical data analysis and modeling, human health risk assessment, aerosol science with an emphasis on real-time detection with low-cost sensors, and respiratory protection. She has published more than 20 abstracts and peer-reviewed publications on various occupational health-related topics. Her accomplishments in respirator-related research were recognized through the 2018 Arthur Johnson Young Researcher Award in Respiratory Protection from the International Society for Respiratory Protection.

Industrial Hygiene and Exposure Science

Exposure Assessments at Industrial Sites, Alabama, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, and Wisconsin Designed and executed onsite industrial hygiene support for sampling various chemicals, noise, and indoor air quality assessment, comprehensive personal protective equipment program assessment, ventilation system assessment, and noise mitigation solutions to clients from a variety of industries.
TSCA Risk Evaluations, United States Provided consortium clients with support in complying with EPA's risk evaluations under TSCA for existing chemicals (including monitoring inhalation exposures at multiple industrial sites and statistical analysis of large data sets with unique challenges, such as handling nondetected values).

Human Health Risk Assessment

Indoor Air Modeling for Solvents Spill, Louisiana Utilized a mass balance model and an indoor air dispersion (nearfield to farfield [NF-FF]) model to estimate the air concentrations of spilled chemicals in an office building.
Inhalation Dosimetry and Dose Reconstruction, United States Performed inhalation dosimetry and benchmark dose modeling to develop a health-based exposure limit for NCA and NCM (groups of mixed metal oxides used in lithium-ion batteries).

Litigation Support

Support in Occupational Health Risk Assessment Litigation, Nationwide Provided litigation support for a number of cases involving multiple exposures (e.g., crystalline silica, fuels and diesel exhaust, solvents, pesticides, welding fumes, diacetyl) involving various worker groups in the railroad, food, and dry-cleaning industries. Reviewed literature for exposures and adverse health effects, occupational and epidemiological data for worker groups, government regulations, and case-specific materials for the preparation of an expert report. Assisted in the preparation of deposition testimony and trial direct.
