Assistant Professor (Teaching) of Spatial Sciences
Websites: Faculty Profile, Google Scholar, LinkedIn
Areas of research:
- Human dimension for environmental pollution and climate change, such as lead (Pb) contamination and urban heat island effect, their impacts on community health, and their implication of environmental justice.
- Spatial characteristics and processes of contaminants and critical environmental indicators (such as carbon) and their feedback to human health and environmental sustainability
- Teaching and pedagogy on geographic information science, environmental sustainability and environmental justice
EH MATTERS Internship Description:
The EH MATTERS intern will gain training and mentoring on spatial thinking, hands-on spatial data handling and analytics through research, and use of GIS analysis and visualization for a deeper understanding of environmental problems in our community. Basic knowledge of GIS (e.g. SSCI 165 or 265 or 301) is preferred.
