Assistant Professor in GIScience
Department of Geography and Environment
University of Hawaii at Manoa

My research areas include in spatio-temporal data modeling, visual analytics, geocomputation, disaster vulnerability and resilience, dynamic modeling of coupled natural and human (CNH) systems. I'm interested in developing innovative models, analytical frameworks and software tools to discover useful information and knowledge from a diversity of geospatial data.
