Ting Lian

Research Associate in Geospatial Data Analysis
Imperial College London

Ting is a Research Associate in the School of Public Health at Imperial College London. Her current work in the HDR UK Social and Environmental Determinants of Health Driver Programme focuses on geospatial data analysis, particularly geocoding and address matching using Unique Property Reference Numbers (UPRNs), to support high-resolution, privacy-preserving health research across the UK.

More broadly, her research sits at the intersection of geospatial analytics, mobility, transport, and health. She has a background in transport geography and GIS, with expertise in spatial analysis, machine learning, computer vision, and urban data science. Her work has examined topics including pedestrian movement, transport accessibility, crash risk, and travel behaviour, with the aim of producing robust spatial evidence for healthier, more equitable, and more sustainable urban environments.
