BIO
Dr. Mah is a health geographer specializing in the use of linked geospatial, survey, and administrative data to examine how neighborhood environments influence health and well-being. Her research employs geospatial and epidemiological approaches to explore the relationship between social connections, neighborhood contexts, and longitudinal health outcomes, with the goal of informing actionable health interventions and policy decisions.
Dr. Mah is currently refining methods to track residential histories, aiming to assess how residential mobility and long-term environmental exposures shape health across the life course. She has led collaborative studies in Canada on community belonging and population health, and in Switzerland, where she investigated the effects of residential instability and household crowding on premature mortality. Her focus on neighborhoods began with her doctoral research, which linked walkability to physical activity, hospitalization, and mortality outcomes in Canada, the UK, and Australia.
