Zhiqiang Feng

Zhiqiang Feng is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Geosciences, University of Edinburgh, specializing in geospatial health research. He currently accepts PhD students and leads multiple projects including ESRC-funded longitudinal studies on socioeconomic and health outcomes.

Research Focus: Dr. Feng's work integrates geospatial analysis with public health, examining:

• Urban environmental determinants (green space disparities, climate impacts)
• Behavioral health interventions (tobacco control policies, active commuting)
• Longitudinal disease patterns (diabetes, mental health)
• Spatial inequalities in health access

His research employs advanced statistical modeling of population-level data.

Projects & Impact: Key initiatives include:

• Principal Investigator for GENERATE project on geospatial ECMO analysis
• Co-investigator for ESRC's Longitudinal Studies Centre Scotland (2020-2030)
• Media-covered research linking cycling to reduced antidepressant use

His recent publications demonstrate strong emphasis on policy-relevant urban health interventions using geospatial simulation and longitudinal datasets.
