BIO

I am a postdoctoral Research Associate in Geospatial Data Analytics at the UK Small Area Health Statistics Unit (SAHSU), part of the MRC Centre for Environment and Health.

My research interests primarily encompass two key areas: 1) the study of geodemographics and its applications within the GeoHealth domain, and 2) the implementation of GeoAI and the analysis of multi-sourced spatiotemporal (big) data in urban analytics, specifically in relation to public health. At present, my work is predominantly focused on investigating the disparities in air pollution dynamics across various geodemographic groups within the UK.

Before joining Imperial College London, I completed my postdoctoral research at the Martin School, University of Oxford, where I employed Google Street View imagery to extract urban perceptions and examined their potential applications in health disparities. Additionally, I was involved as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the 'Virus Watch' project at University College London, which entailed the analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated government responses in relation to human mobility (derived from massive smartphone GPS data).

I obtained my PhD in Geographic Data Science from the Geographic Data Science Lab (GDSL) at the University of Liverpool. Furthermore, I hold an MSc in Geographic Information Sciences from University College London, as well as a BA in Environment & Urban Planning from the University of Liverpool.
