Jane Law is an Associate Professor at the University of Waterloo, located in EV3 3251. She holds a Ph.D. in Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering from the University of New Brunswick (2000), a University Teaching Diploma from the same institution (1999), an M.Sc. in Land Information Systems from Hong Kong Polytechnic University (1994), and a B.Sc. in Survey and Mapping Sciences from North East London Polytechnic (1985). Her research integrates spatial analysis with public health and criminology, employing Bayesian methodologies to examine neighborhood effects on health outcomes and crime patterns.
Law's research focuses on geographic information systems, Bayesian spatial modeling, spatial epidemiology, environmental criminology, and health-oriented urban planning. She explores how built environments influence community health outcomes and crime distribution using advanced statistical geospatial techniques.
Her publications demonstrate consistent focus on Bayesian spatial modeling applications in public health and crime analysis, with recent work emphasizing mental health spatial patterns, nutrition environments, and temporal crime trends. Research consistently integrates GIS with statistical innovation for policy-relevant insights.
Law has supervised 43 Master's and 5 PhD students to completion and currently advises 2 Master's and 1 PhD candidate. She secured a long-term research grant as Principal Investigator for 'Advancing spatial analysis methodologies using a Bayesian approach' (2009-2022).
