Daikwon Han

Daikwon Han is an Associate Professor at Texas A&M University's Health Science Center, specializing in environmental and public health research. His work integrates spatial epidemiology, geographic information systems (GIS), and social-ecological systems analysis to address health disparities, disaster preparedness, and environmental exposures. His research focuses on vulnerable populations including minority communities, older adults, and children, examining factors like air pollution, toxic substance exposure, and spatial variations in health outcomes.

Research interests include disaster management, climate change impacts on health, pesticide-related poisonings, and the sociodemographic determinants of vaccine hesitancy during pandemics. His methodologies emphasize geospatial analysis for environmental justice and policy interventions.

His recent studies explore the intersection of climate change and health disparities in Texas, the spatial distribution of alcohol outlets and crime, and lead exposure mitigation strategies. Dr. Han’s work bridges epidemiology with environmental science, aiming to inform equitable public health policies.

Notable contributions include optimizing disaster preparedness for elderly populations and analyzing the social-ecological drivers of vaccine hesitancy during the pandemic. Grants and advising roles are not explicitly detailed in the provided texts.
