Contributing Editor

Andrea T. Underhill, PhD, Social Science Researcher II, currently serves as a contributing editor for the TRIP Lab for a variety of print and electronic media, including grants, scientific manuscripts, website, and social media accounts. Dr. Underhill earned her PhD and MPH in Epidemiology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). She has an MS in Psychology from Auburn University at Montgomery, a BS in Chemistry from Georgia Southern University, and taught high school science in Georgia.

While at UAB, Dr. Underhill was the Associate Director for Administration and Finance for the UAB University Transportation Center and the Project Coordinator for the UAB Injury Control Research Center’s longest-running research project, A Longitudinal Study of Rehabilitation Outcomes. Her diverse background and experience, along with a gnawing curiosity, have resulted in an interdisciplinary array of research interests, the center of which is injury prevention.

Having physically left Alabama in 2010, Dr. Underhill now telecommutes, allowing her the freedom to work early in the morning, late at night, and occasionally during normal business hours.
