RESEARCH SYNOPSIS

My research interest revolves around spatial inequality in health and well-being among immigrants and ethnic minorities across different places. My master's thesis in Canada explored spatial accessibility to health-promoting resources such as primary healthcare, green spaces, and ethnic food retailers among Korean-Canadians. During my Ph.D., I will examine how the built environment and socio-economic condition of the neighborhood can be associated with the level of physical activities of people in the city of Detroit.
