Connor Martz

Connor Martz is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin Population Research Center. His research interests are focused on understanding patterns, mechanisms, and potential solutions for health inequities, with an emphasis on sociopolitical and neighborhood-level determinants of population health. To date, his work has primarily focused on racial health inequities and assessing the health impacts of racism, ranging from neighborhood-level characteristics of racial residential segregation, poverty concentration, and the built and social environment, to interpersonal experiences, such as direct and vicarious discrimination.

Connor received his PhD in Human Development and Family Science from Auburn University and completed his dissertation research in absentia at the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. His interdisciplinary training has provided a strong foundation for conducting research on population health and biopsychosocial mechanisms of disease.
