about me

I am a professor in the Geospatial Information Sciences (GISC) program at the University of Texas at Dallas. I earned a PhD in geography in 2007 and a mster in applied statistics in 2006 from the Ohio State University.

My research interests are in Geographic Information Science (GIS) and spatial statistics methodologically and lie in urban geographical issues as substantive research area. Specific research topics include quantitative methods (especially, spatial statistical approaches) for geographical research, geographic data uncertainty, population migration, interregional commodity flows, urban crime, and environmental justice. My research has been supported by multiple funding agencies including the National Science Foundation and the National Instititue of Health among others; I have received about $1.4 million of research support as PI or co-PI. I received the Emerging Scholar Award in 2017 from the Spatial Analysis and Modeling Specialty Group of Association of American Geographers.
