Alister Baird

PhD Candidate

Division of Psychiatry

I am a PhD candidate in UCLs Division of Psychiatry. My interdisciplinary project explores how physical environmental exposures (for example; nature exposure, air and noise pollution, urban design) influence aggressive behaviors in both neuro typical and neurodiverse child populations. We have recently constructed an artificial simulated urban greenspace environment to explore how urban natural spaces may influence the physiological arousal of children with neurodevelopmental disorders. My research interests predominately involve how we can elucidate the therapeutic and harmful influences of physical environmental exposures on child populations. Whilst I am broadly concerned with well-being (both physical and mental health) I have specific interests in how child environments can be designed to improve cognitive and behavioral outcomes. I am also passionate on developing our understanding of underlying neurophysiological mechanisms behind these influences.

Yasmin Garcia-Sterling

PhD Candidate

The Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction

I’m a Ph.D. student industry-based with Capital Hospitals London where I explore the impacts from existing Wayfinding systems at two hospitals in Barts Health NHS Trust.  My research investigates the ways in which people source information to shape their spatial behaviour and how we can improve our sensory health in Wayfinding with digital Innovative methods and methodologies.

My project interests are with understanding a diversified set of user needs across sensory, physical and mental differences, which can applied to contemporary wayfinding gaps. Understanding the benefits from a humanistic perspective, including user physiological wellbeing and neurology, means we can shift modern space-generative wayfinding design and planning into a user aware system.

The overarching objective for my research is to review, combine and propose models to process for a User-based Digital Wayfinding Strategy. Making reflections to embed the Person-centric Care Framework, in NHS England healthcare infrastructure and modelled by the two hospitals I am currently with. My following endeavour is to enforce policy updates to the most recent UK guidance for Hospital Wayfinding from 2005 to include digital practices and applying such models for sensing space.

Austreberto (Beto) Lopez Sanchez

MSc Student

The Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction

I am Austreberto Lopez, a Mexican civil engineer highly motivated and enthusiastic about the construction and management of healthcare facilities. My experience in healthcare facilities includes the planning and design of primary and secondary care hospitals in Mexico. Currently, I am studying the MSc in Healthcare Facilities at UCL. As a civil engineer, I am interested in designing structurally safe and architectural harmony hospitals. Also, I am intrigued by finding the balance between the agility and flexibility to provide healthcare for the needy during modern healthcare disruptions, such as natural disasters, pandemics, or climate change emergencies. My goal is to bridge the gap between inequality and injustice in vulnerable communities due to the lack of medical infrastructure.

My research interest is in how to design seismically resilient hospitals with a sustainable perspective. My research aims to compare different building regulations in countries vulnerable to earthquakes, such as Mexico, New Zealand, and the U.S. The study attempts to provide both structurally and architectonic recommendations to improve the healthcare provision to avoid casualties in hospitals during seismic activity, including visitors, patients, and medical staff. Also, the research aims to answer if it is a relationship between climate change and more frequent seismic activity in the last years. The research question about the relationship between climate change, earthquakes and how to design hospitals resilient to seismic activity is more important than ever, as climate emergency is the major threat for the 21st century. Hence, vulnerable countries to earthquakes – mainly developing countries – must find strategies that improve the built environment, and the healthcare provision to face this kind of natural disaster.

PhD Student

Department of Geography

Yaqian Zhang is currently a PhD student in the department of geography. She received B.Art. and B.Eng degree in landscape design and architecture at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (China) in 2017. Yaqian has completed her MSc in International Planning at BSP, UCL. Afterwards, she started her PhD research on exploring social infrastructure, social capital and edible landscape in community gardens.

In China, rapid urbanisation has caused serious social, food and environmental problems. Community gardens, which is generally defined as a type of open space that is collaboratively cultivated with either vegetables or flowers by local residents, have sprung up in many Chinese cities in recent years. Community gardens have the potential to support in the building of social relationships, community cohesion. Also, edible landscapes have become one popular form of community gardens in recent year. In this context, my research aims to study the “relationship” and “connection” within community gardens by exploring social infrastructure, social capital and edible landscape, eventually providing guidelines for the creation of sustainable participatory community gardens in China’s urban context.
