Our lab pursues inter- and transdisciplinary research on the complex interactions between urban plants, people and urban environments. We use a wide range of experimental, methodological and theoretical approaches drawing from numerous fields to grow fundamental and practical knowledge of urban social, ecological and technical systems. From flying drones and aircrafts, analyzing satellite imagery, mining big data with AI - to conducting traditional field, lab and glasshouse experiments - we aim to provide an integrated, systemic and innovative vision to advance urban plant science, urban forestry, ecology and allied disciplines.
Our comprehensive research program covers a range of themes including but not limited to:
