Profile

I am a Lecturer in Urban Data Science within the School of Geography and a core member of the Institute for Spatial Data Science research cluster. I earned my PhD in Geography from The Ohio State University, USA, and before joining the University of Leeds, I worked as a Research Associate at the MRC Epidemiology Unit, University of Cambridge.


I am deeply committed to finding new ways to tackle urban environmental health issues and to contributing solutions that have a meaningful impact on cities and their populations. With a diverse academic background that spans urban data science, geographical information science, public health, and transportation, my work focuses on addressing urban challenges through data-driven approaches. My expertise lies in areas such as spatial simulation and modeling, spatial data mining, transportation simulation, public health modeling, and spatio-temporal analysis. By combining these methods, I aim to advance our understanding of urban environments and improve health outcomes through innovative analytical and modeling techniques.
