Dr Yi Gong

Yi Gong is a lecturer in Interdisciplinary Quantitative Thinking in Arts and Sciences at UCL.

Yi’s work focuses on two themes (1) sustainable development and healthy cities, (2) Community resilience and vulnerability to hazards and climate change-related disasters.

Before joining UCL Arts and Sciences, Yi worked as a research fellow at the Sustainable Places Research Institute at Cardiff University and a post-doc researcher at the University of Manchester.
