My research addresses health, transport, environmental, and social issues in urban areas through the application of innovative geographic information system (GIS) methods. I focus on understanding how socioeconomic differences (e.g., gender, income, race, ethnicity, and religion) shape urban residents' everyday experiences and perceptions/use of the built environment. I am also interested in studying how specific characteristics of the social and physical environment affect the wellbeing and behavior of different social groups. My current projects attempt to mitigate two fundamental methodological problems while examining health-environment relationships: the uncertain geographic context problem (UGCoP) and the neighborhood effect averaging problem (NEAP).

My studies often rely on the primary data I collected using a wide spectrum of quantitative, qualitative, and GIS methods, including GPS tracking, real-time mobile sensing, ecological momentary assessment, activity diary surveys, and in-depth interviews. My methods have several characteristics. They attempt to capture/reflect individual experience and thus are seldom based on aggregate data or conventional administrative units such as census tracts. Much of my work to date has been undertaken at very fine spatial scales (e.g., local streets, individual buildings, and even rooms inside a building). The following are some of the main themes of my recent research:

geographies of health and wellbeing - environmental health, individual exposure to environmental influences (e.g., air pollution, noise, green space, the food environment) and its health impacts, subjective wellbeing, access to healthcare, spatial disparities in health and wellbeing, protection of geoprivacy in health research;
human mobility, urban travel and sustainable transportation - accessibility jobs and urban opportunities in space-time, the spatial mismatch between jobs and residence, interaction between land use and travel, the environmental impact of suburbanization and commuting, effects of subjective experience on the use of urban space and facilities, and sustainable city;
urban, environmental, health and transport issues in U.S. and Chinese cities;
research method - big data analytics; collection and analysis of GPS and mobile sensor data; 3D geovisualization; quantitative methods (geocomputation, spatial data analysis, structural equation models, hierarchical and multilevel models); qualitative methods (qualitative GIS, computer-aided qualitative data analysis, oral history, narrative analysis, visual narratives, ecological momentary assessment); mixed-method approaches; activity diary surveys;
3D GIS - 3D GIS data models for multi-story structures; analysis of the space-time trajectories of moving objects through visualization and data mining methods; real-time positioning technologies;

My research interests are quite diverse, but several overarching dimensions can be identified: (a) an emphasis on people’s everyday experiences; (b) a focus on individual differences across multiple axes (e.g. gender, race and religion); and (c) a recognition of the need to develop new methods for representing the complexities of human behavior and the urban environment.
