Dr. Afsheen Sadaf is a Postdoctoral Scholar at the UMSL Geospatial Collaborative, University of Missouri–St. Louis, and also served as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Landscape Architecture, University of Florida. Her research integrates geospatial technologies, environmental planning, and data-driven decision-making to address complex sustainability, resilience, and environmental challenges. Her expertise encompasses sustainability and environmental planning, coastal/watershed resilience, climate adaptation, urban and regional planning, environmental justice, and the interactions between health and the built environment. Dr. Sadaf applies advanced geospatial and analytical techniques, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), GeoAI, spatial statistics, environmental assessment, ecological and coastal modeling, and qualitative research methods. Her research focuses on developing innovative geospatial frameworks and decision-support systems for wetland and watershed monitoring, urban agriculture, climate resilience, land-use and land-cover change analysis, ecosystem restoration, and nature-based solutions. Through interdisciplinary collaborations, Dr. Sadaf develops scalable geospatial methodologies that integrate Earth observation data, GeoAI, and spatial optimization to support evidence-based planning and policy.
