T.S. (Tabea) Sonnenschein

PhD Candidate
Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences (IRAS)

Tabea is a PhD Candidate 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. Apart from the Human Geography and Spatial Planning group, she is affiliated to the Institute of Risk Assessment Sciences (IRAS) at UU, the Health Technology Assessment Team of UMCU and the Center for Complex System Sciences.
