Naveen Joseph is an Assistant Professor of Geospatial Science at Radford University.
He did his Masters in Hydraulics and Water Resources Engineering from the Indian Institute
of Technology, Madras, India, and his Ph.D. in Environmental Hydrology and Water Resources
from the University of Melbourne, Australia. He also worked at the Idaho Water Resources
Research Institute, University of Idaho as a postdoctoral research fellow.
His research interests focus on understanding the interactions among humans, the geospatial
environment in which they live, time, and public health. He primarily uses geospatial
datasets, statistical tools, and hydrological models to address the water resources
issues both at regional and nationwide scales. His research themes include large-scale
and catchment-scale water resources modeling and investigating the relationships between
environmental contaminants such as pesticides and human health outcomes such as cancer.
