Accomplishments * I have been the recipient of numerous honors and awards, including ones from the Libyan Ministry and the University of Tripoli-Libya. * Earned prestigious scholarship from the Libyan Ministry of Higher Education to pursue doctoral training in the USA. * Ph.D. Dissertation Title: "Determinants of neighborhood exposure to extreme heat: A spatial examination of El Paso and Juarez, 2010". Findings indicate that vegetation density, land use/land cover class, and elderly population concentration were relatively important predictors of LST variation in both cities. Results for elevation, albedo, population density, educational attainment (socioeconomic status) were not stable across the analyses and between the two cities. Advisor: Timothy William Collins.
