Integrating GIS and Satellite Imagery to Map Agricultural Emissions and Mitigate Waterborne Health Risks
DR. BAE, Hansol
Nature Preserve ApS
Hansol earned his Ph.D. in plant molecular biology by studying crop stress response mechanisms. HB subsequently conducted research on the mass production and efficient extraction of plant-derived high-value compounds utilizing multi-disciplinary approach consist of plant metabolic engineering, fluid dynamics, and robotics. Building on this experience, HB founded Nature Preserve with the goal of innovating environmental footprint analysis market of agricultural lands. HB is currently developing models for large-scale analysis of agricultural land environmental footprints, particularly utilizing GIS and satellite imagery in order to analyze the risk of pollutant generation, runoff, and dispersion at scale.
Integrating individual-level spatiotemporal data to study environmental exposure on Brain Health
DR. SO, Rina
University of Copenhagen
Rina So, PhD is an environmental epidemiologist and biostatistician, works as a senior postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen. Her work focuses on understanding how multiple exposure to multiple environmental factors—such as air pollution, urban environmental stressors, and built environments—shape brain health across the life course. She combines health registers, geospatial exposure modelling, and advanced statistical approaches to link real-world environmental data with clinical and behavioral outcomes. Her research increasingly leverages emerging digital health and high-resolution data sources to improve exposure assessment, identify vulnerable populations, and develop data-driven strategies for prevention in public health.
