Angela's research explores ways of using new data resources to inform high impact urban design decisions. Her PhD research explored methods for using smartphone location data to design campus green spaces. Her research is informed by a background in architecture and public engagement. Her work at UBC involves developing frameworks for combining human mobility data with ecological data from sensors to design resilient urban forests.

Outside of work I like to explore the Rocky Mountains, and play video games with my kids.
