Asori Moses is a Ghanaian researcher and doctoral candidate in Geography at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC), USA. His doctoral work focuses on medical geography, environmental health, and spatial epidemiology, with an emphasis on measuring the health effects of environmental exposures. By combining environmental science, epidemiology, and advanced spatial analytics, his research provides evidence to inform policy and interventions in both high-resource and low-resource settings.
His work spans Ghana, Tanzania, and the United States, addressing critical global health challenges. In Tanzania, his research investigates the effects of heavy metal exposure from gold mining on children in utero and the long-term neurological and cognitive consequences of such exposures. More broadly, his scholarship explores how environmental hazards—ranging from air pollution to mining contaminants—shape health outcomes and deepen health inequities.
Moses brings extensive technical expertise in geostatistics, spatial statistics, geospatial machine learning, remote sensing, and biostatistics, complemented by strong applied skills in web-based GIS, spatial databases, and research-focused web development. His interdisciplinary approach positions him at the forefront of efforts to understand and mitigate the complex interactions between environment, health, and space.
Moses will be heading the Epidemiology department of the institute
