Sustainability

I am a PhD researcher at the University of Cambridge working at the intersection of health inequalities, data science and machine learning, and sustainability. My work examines how urban environments shape health—particularly mental health and dementia—and health behaviours such as active travel. Methodologically, I use causal and predictive frameworks (e.g., TMLE/Super Learner, Bayesian causal forests, deep survival learning) to estimate heterogeneous treatment effects across demographic and spatial contexts.

My research sits at the intersection of the built environment, environmental health, and urban systems, with a focus on how spatial and infrastructural conditions shape population health outcomes. I am particularly interested in the ways that urban form, transportation systems, service accessibility, and environmental exposures interact to influence mental health, dementia risk, and mortality across diverse communities.

I am currently a postgraduate student in the MPhil in Population Health Sciences Program (Public Health stream) at the University of Cambridge. I am also a recent graduate of the University of Toronto, where I studied global health, political science, and psychology.

I am a PhD candidate in psychology researching nature connection and what predicts lasting and sustainable bonds with the earth. I am an Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker and am currently a Cambridge Trust Scholar.

I am a PhD Candidate studying universal health coverage (UHC) in Sub-Saharan Africa with a focus on Uganda. My research interests span health systems strengthening in low- and middle-income countries, health inequalities, global health policy, development and sustainability.

Dr. Ronita Bardhan is Associate Professor of Sustainable Built Environment at the Department of Architecture, University of Cambridge. She leads the Sustainable Design research group at the university. Her research focuses on data-driven design for built environments that respond by reducing health and energy burdens in the warming climate. Bardhan combines architectural engineering, AI and machine learning with social sciences to develop built environment design solutions.

Angelique is a Clinical Research Fellow at Cambridge Public Health, where she is working on linking health policy to sustainability agendas and exploring joint solutions. She is also a Consultant in Public Health Medicine at the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the Greater London Authority (GLA). She is currently leading the development of the London Climate and Health Programme with partners across the London Health and Care System.
