Haofei Yu

Haofei Yu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Construction Engineering at the University of Central Florida, College of Engineering and Computer Science. He leads the UCF Air Quality Lab and conducts interdisciplinary research at the intersection of environmental engineering and public health.

His research focuses on air quality modeling, air pollution measurement, emission inventory development, and health impact assessment. He utilizes novel data sources such as mobile phone location data to improve individual exposure estimation in urban environments.

The trend in his recent publications shows a strong emphasis on integrating mobility data (e.g., iPhone and Google Maps) with air pollution exposure models to enhance the accuracy of health studies. His work bridges environmental science, data analytics, and epidemiology, aiming to reduce exposure misclassification in time-series health analyses.

While no formal awards are listed, his active research program and leadership in projects like the downtown Orlando air quality initiative suggest ongoing grant support.

He advises students through research collaboration and leads the UCF Air Quality Lab, which focuses on innovative approaches to urban air quality monitoring and health risk assessment.
