Trosolwg
Yi obtained an MA in human geography from the University of Liverpool and a PhD from University College London after completing her bachelor degree in Information Engineering at Wuhan University (China). She is currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Sustainable Places Research Institute at Cardiff University after working as a researcher at University College London and the University of Manchester for several years.
Her current research interest is exploring the influences of place and environment (e.g. where people live) on human behaviour (e.g. physical exercise) and health both at individual and population level. Yi is very keen to develop interdisciplinary methods and tools that can help us to understand, communicate and visualise the complex relationships between the environment, behaviour and health.

Addysgu
Yi teaches GIS modules for MSc courses in School of Planning and Geography.
Yi is particularly interested in exploring the relationships between health, well-being and place at both individual and population level in order to understand how our behaviour, and the natural and built environments shape our health.
She also interested in developing interdisciplinary methods and tools that can help us to understand, communicate and visualise the complex spatio-temporal relationships between the environment, behaviour and health.
