Tabea is a Postdoctoral Researcher focused on developing spatial agent-based models that simulate the health and social impacts of urban health interventions. Such interventions target environmental stressors like air pollution, heat and noise, as well as health behaviors such as physical activity by changing the transport system, land use or spatial organisation of a city in order to prevent detrimental exposures and corresponding disease risks. She takes part in the EU-funded EXPANSE and EXPOSOME-NL projects.
Next, Tabea is also a Research Associate at the Public Health Modeling Team of the MRC Epidemiology Unit at University of Cambridge led by Prof. James Woodcock. In that context, she contributes to modelling efforts for the UK DARe Hub (Decarbonised, Adaptable and Resilient Transport Infrastructures), and the pan-European UBD Policy project (Urban Burden of Disease Estimation for Policymaking).
