I am a professor in the Geography Department and associate dean for research in the IU School of Liberal Arts in Indianapolis. I have been teaching and doing research with GIS for about 20 years. My research interests include geographic information science, human health and well-being, and the geography of everyday life. I specialize in integrating geographic methods in studies examining environmental effects on health and well-being. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to collaborate with great colleagues from different disciplines including medicine, public health, nursing, the social and natural sciences, and the humanities.
