À propos de l'auteur

Priyanka Vyas is an educator, scientist, an interdisciplinary scholar and a practitioner who brings over a decade of experience at the intersection of public health, GIS, urban planning and policy. Trained as a social scientist, she has applied her training in public administration and public policy to address a variety of issues that have strong implications for public policy decision-making. Her work has focused on place-based differences in health behaviour and outcomes and the role of policy in addressing these gaps.

Juan Aguilera is a physician and public health researcher whose work examines how environmental and lifestyle factors--such as heat exposure and air pollution--affect immune, respiratory, and metabolic health. With deep experience in diverse and border-region communities, he uses mapping and data-driven, interdisciplinary approaches to uncover spatial patterns in health risk and resilience. His applied research bridges science and community practice to guide sustainable public health strategies for long-term community health impact.
