Michael Hendryx studies how energy production, especially coal mining and combustion, affects public health and the environment, with a focus on rural and disadvantaged communities such as those in Central Appalachia. His work also examines health disparities across populations, including studies of cancer, chronic disease, and birth outcomes in large health surveys. Recent projects extend to transitions away from coal and the use of tools like AI chatbots to support affected communities.
