Professor Peng Bi has contributed to the fields of environmental epidemiology, ecosystem health and infectious disease epidemiology. He has wide research experience in identifying and managing environmental health problems, including the impact of climate change on population health. Additionally, his ecology and health approach has been applied to spatio-temporal disease patterns in various ecosystem health situations.
His most significant contributions to the field are his research work on climate change and its impact on population health including communicable and non-communicable diseases and work-related injuries and illnesses in occupational settings, both in Australia and overseas. He has established a solid track record and publications in the field of communicable diseases, particularly those which are climate sensitive such as food borne, mosquito borne and rodent borne diseases. His recent research activities focus on climate change adaptation in vulnerable communities including older people, outdoor workers and CALD communities. He also undertakes research projects in One Health area.
He is a Fellow of The Academy of The Social Sciences in Australia.
