Research and Professional Interests

I am a MSc student in Physical Geography interested in integrating remote sensing, GIS, and fieldwork to develop replicable frameworks for assessing and protecting environmentally sensitive and significant areas in urbanizing cities. My current research focuses on informing and advancing the City of Mississauga’s environmental management and planning.

Why Geography, Geomatics and Environment at UTM?

The GGE department at UTM feels like home, offering both an inspiring campus environment and proximity to data-rich urban landscapes that create opportunities for meaningful municipal partnerships. The faculty are very motivating and supportive, and being mentored by Dr. Yuhong He provides the guidance and expertise to produce sharp, exceptional research in the field.
