Professor Peng Jia, based at Wuhan University in China, is a health geographer and spatial epidemiologist. He coined the disciplinary term “Spatial Lifecourse Epidemiology. He received his B.Eng. in environmental engineering from Nanjing Agricultural University (2007), M.S. in remote sensing and GIS from Chinese Academy of Sciences (2010), M.S. in spatial epidemiology from Emerging Pathogens Institute at the University of Florida (2012), and Ph.D. in health geography from Louisiana State University (2015). He was the recipient for the Outstanding Article of the Year Award from the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (2015), the IJERPH Young Investigator Award (2019), and the National Youth Geographical Science and Technology Award (2021) by the Geographical Society of China. His research has been funded by multiple national/regional agencies, including the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research, and the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. He has published more than 270 SCI journal articles and invited commentaries, including in Nature Medicine, Nature Communications, Lancet Global Health
