About the speaker: Dr. Deb Niemeier is a professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and professor in the School of Education and Biological and Agricultural Engineering at the University of California at Davis. She is also a member of the graduate faculty in computer science, geography, sociology, and atmospheric science. Her primary research interest has been on developing highly accurate, accessible processes for emissions modeling and travel behavior models that can be used in the public sector, particularly the identification and modeling of environmental health disparities and those leading to improved understanding of formal and informal governance processes in urban and transportation planning. She is interested in emergent properties or characteristics that give rise to inequitable outcomes, particularly those associated with climate change.
