Dr. Natalie Nicholls is a Statistician at the University of Glasgow's School of Health & Wellbeing, where she provides statistical support for the Places and Health research team. She holds a PhD in Tropical Animal Health from the University of Edinburgh (2007) and an MSc in Applied Statistics. Her research focuses on spatial epidemiology and health inequalities, particularly examining how neighborhood characteristics, natural environments, and urban planning influence public health outcomes across different demographic groups.
Her work spans several key interdisciplinary domains: spatial analysis of health disparities, environmental determinants of wellbeing, and statistical modeling of urban-rural health gradients. Research frequently utilizes geospatial methods, longitudinal datasets, and cross-national comparisons to investigate topics including green space accessibility, built environment impacts on mortality, and pandemic-related behavioral changes.
Publication analysis reveals consistent methodological focus on: geospatial regression techniques, large-scale cohort studies, and inequality metrics. Dominant themes include neighborhood effects on child development, environmental justice in urban planning, and socioeconomic determinants of health behavior. Recent work increasingly addresses climate vulnerability and extreme weather impacts.
