Meet our academics

My research interest is primarily on planning and management of environmental sustainability and in exploring ways for making policies, plans, programmes and project developments more environmentally sustainable. I have worked on Environmental Assessment (EA) both at project and strategic level (EIA & SEA). Using the lens of Impact Assessment (IA) my research has explored topical issues such as health, climate change, education, green infrastructure and learning.

I am a Lecturer in the Department of Geography and Planning, where I specialise in ecology. I am mainly focused on understanding and predicting the impact of global environmental change on forests. I use tree rings to monitor forest responses to climate change, and to predict the resilience of forests to drought and other stresses. I also work on tree reproduction and forest regeneration, particularly the ecology of seed masting.

I am a Lecturer with the Geographic Data Science Lab in the Department of Geography and Planning. I am also the Programme Director for the Masters in Geographic Data Science. I am a Fulbright Scholar with a research focus on the intersection of geography and data science tools and data for understanding cities, and their emergent patterns overtime.

I am Dr. Arshad Isakjee, and I am the course director for the Masters in Contemporary Human Geography here at the University of Liverpool. I am into my fourth year here as a Lecturer in Human Geography and my third as director of this programme. My research interests are on immigration, and how immigration is governed with respect to border security, race and policies around citizenship.

I am the Lever Chair of Town and Regional Planning in the Department of Geography and Planning at the University of Liverpool. I work on the economic effects of urban and environmental planning and have conducted research for a wide range of funders including an Economic and Social Research Council ‘Urban Transformations’ award on the behavioural economics of real estate markets.

I am a Professor with over 34 years of practical, research, training and teaching experience in the areas of strategic environmental assessment (SEA), environmental impact assessment (EIA), health impact assessment (HIA) and other types of impact assessment in a number of countries. I am Head of the WHO Collaborating Centre on Health in Impact Assessments, an Extraordinary Professor at the Research Unit for Environmental Sciences and Management at North West University, South Africa and have been a Fellow of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) since 2008.

I am a Senior Lecturer in Planning and the Programme Director for the MA Housing & Community Planning. I conduct research on a range of housing and planning issues, with a particular emphasis on the role of communities in the planning, delivery, and management of housing. I am your main contact for any queries or information relating to the MA Housing & Community Planning programme, and I am delighted to welcome you to the University.

I am a Senior Lecturer in Urban Design in the Department of Geography and Planning. I qualified as an architect at the Politecnico di Torino (Italy) and completed a PhD in Town Planning and Local Development at the same university. I have worked in academia since 2001, in Italy and the UK, and also briefly practised as an architect and urban designer.
