S.M. Labib

I possess a multi-disciplinary academic background including urban and regional planning, quantitative geography, and environmental sciences. I consider myself a quantitative urban health geographer, who researches in the domain of environmental health problems, using data-driven methods and techniques. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Urban and regional planning, with specialisation in sustainable urban transportation and emission modelling. Then I completed my master's degree in Geographical Information Science from the University of Manchester. My master's works mostly focused on spatial data analysis and advanced spatial modelling. My PhD research focused on environmental health issues, nature-based solutions for public health, and I developed new approaches to model greenspace exposure using innovative geospatial methods and big-spatial data. During my PostDoctoral training, I joined the University of Cambridge and conducted multi-disciplinary research focus on the urban built-natural environment, and public health. At present, my research activities focus on combining spatial data science approaches with public health modeling to investigate active travel behavior in cities worldwide. Additionally, I am developing new models and methods for improving urban environmental exposure assessments.
