Deputy Director
Research Topics & Areas of Expertise
Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing, Spatial Modeling, and Data Mining for urban and environmental analysis and planning. Some of my recent research has focused on mapping urban land cover (green space, impervious surfaces, etc.) and monitoring forest health using fine resolution satellite imagery.

In Urban Forestry & Urban Greening
Urban green spaces (UGS) significantly influence the distribution of surface heat and play a crucial role in regulating surface temperature. However, the quantitative relationship between UGS and surface temperature remains unclear, necessitating further research. This study aims to predict surface temperature based on green space information from...

In Climate Policy
Under the UNFCCC, the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) plays a central role as a policy framework for adaptation. While significant efforts, including research, have been made on the NAP scheme (which includes NAP formulation as one component), a critical evaluation of the entire NAP scheme is lacking. This includes an analysis of the relationship...
Peer-reviewed Article
In Resources, Conservation and Recycling
Integration of solar photovoltaics on croplands (“agrivoltaics”) has been promoted as an environmentally-friendly approach for solar energy deployment. Past studies, however, have not considered that these croplands could alternatively be used as sites for expanding agroforestry, a practice which provides important ecosystem services to the...
Data or Tool
This dataset contains supplementary materials for a journal article entitled "Potential of agrivoltaics in ASEAN considering a scenario where agroforestry expansion is also pursued" (Johnson et al., 2024). The dataset contains maps (polygon shapefiles) of the geographic potential of agrivoltaics on herbaceous croplands in each of the ten ASEAN...

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Diffusion and Synergies with Resilience and Adaptation: Workshop Proceedings
Workshop on Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Diffusion and Synergies with Resilience and Adaptation
In a transition to a net-zero world, large-scale solar PV diffusion is essential in the Philippines and the entire ASEAN region, since its potential is much larger than wind and other renewable energies. Considering the vulnerability of the Philippines and accelerating climate change, it is also vital to make sure that net-zero transition based on...

In Sensors
Research on transformers in remote sensing (RS), which started to increase after 2021, is facing the problem of a relative lack of review. To understand the trends of transformers in RS, we undertook a quantitative analysis of the major research on transformers over the past two years by dividing the application of transformers into eight domains...
Peer-reviewed Article
In International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation
Dynamic monitoring of reservoir water storage in arid areas is important for water resources assessment, hydroelectric power generation and agricultural irrigation. However, existing reservoir water calculation methods often rely on in-situ measurements, which limits their application in data scarce regionals and for regional scale analyses. Hence...
Conference Proceeding
On 8 December 2023, the COP28 Japan Pavilion side event “Accelerating International Collaboration towards a Net-zero and Resilient ASEAN” was organised by the ASEAN Secretariat and the Ministry of the Environment, Japan (MOEJ), inviting ASEAN Member State (AMS) representatives, youth, and a European research organisation, and had a panel discussion...
Peer-reviewed Article
In APN Science Bulletin
Over the past few decades, scenario analysis emerged as a useful tool for environmental decision-making amidst multiple uncertainties. Using the influential drivers of change, scenarios portray the range of plausible alternative futures useful for quantifying the synergies and trade-offs of vital ecosystem services across multiple development...
