Research Title: Evaluating Dengue-Specific Healthcare Access and Quality in Southeast Asia Using an Enhanced Healthcare Access and Quality Method
Research Group: Tropical Environmental Change (TEC)
Thesis Advisor: Dr Wei Luo

With a background in Geographic Information Engineering, I intend to apply geographic information systems, spatial statistics, and computational methods to investigate population health challenges and the dynamics of infectious diseases. My research examines how environmental and climatic factors interact with disease transmission processes to shape health outcomes across space and time. By integrating geospatial analysis with data-driven modelling, I aim to uncover the underlying mechanisms of disease risk and spread, with the goal of supporting more targeted public health strategies.

My broader interest lies in the potential of geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) to address a wide range of spatial problems—from environmental health to urban resilience. I aspire to grow as a researcher who bridges geography, advanced computing, and population health to deliver actionable spatial insights.
