Dr. Isaac Ullah is an Assistant Professor & Graduate Advisor in the Department of Anthropology at San Diego State University (SDSU), part of the College of Arts and Letters. His research focuses on computational archaeology, employing GIS and simulation modeling to study long-term human-Earth system interactions. He investigates social and environmental changes linked to the advent of agriculture and pastoralism, particularly in Mediterranean and semi-arid regions like Jordan, Italy, and Kazakhstan.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Anthropology from Arizona State University (2013)
Research Interests:
- GIS and agent-based modeling of socio-ecological systems
- Landscape evolution and human-environment feedbacks
- Geoarchaeological analysis of anthropogenic landscapes
- Engaged archaeology and community-based research
Recent Work Trends: His publications emphasize interdisciplinary approaches, including the development of tools like the SPACE Project for archaeological surveys and digital heritage preservation. Themes recurrent in his work include resilience in past societies, modeling megafauna extinctions, and integrating legacy datasets with modern methodologies. His research often bridges theoretical archaeology with practical computational frameworks.
Grants & Collaborations: While specific grants are not listed, his fieldwork collaborations in Jordan, Italy, and Kazakhstan highlight active international research networks. As Graduate Advisor, he mentors students in computational archaeology and Mediterranean studies.
Labs/Teams: Engaged in SDSU's archaeological fieldwork programs and computational modeling initiatives, though specific lab affiliations are not explicitly stated in the provided text.
