Short biography

Dr. Amanda Hoffman-Hall’s research focuses on environmental health and justice, spatial epidemiology and prediction of infectious disease risk, and algorithm development for satellite mapping of land cover and land-use change. She believes that the best outcomes of health and environmental research arise when projects prioritize community knowledge and expertise, and scientists, activists, community members, and policymakers work together towards just solutions. She has authored publications in the journals GeoHealth, Remote Sensing of Environment, Remote Sensing, and Environmental Research Letters.

When she is not teaching or researching, Dr. Hoffman-Hall can likely be found at a Rays game, weightlifting, or “collaborating” with her two tiniest co-authors, her six- and three-year- olds.
