Dr. Julie A. Gonzalez is a demographer and environmental justice postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Environment, Community & Equity (CECE) whose work examines the complex intersections of climate change, public health, and social equity. With a Ph.D. in Applied Demography from the University of Texas at San Antonio, she applies advanced statistical modeling and spatial analysis to examine how environmental hazards—ranging from air pollution to climate-driven infectious diseases—disproportionately affect vulnerable communities. Her research bridges data science, environmental health, and policy, providing critical insights into the demographic realities of a changing planet.
Beyond academia, Dr. Gonzalez is committed to making scientific research accessible and actionable. As a media expert for Spanish news networks she translates complex environmental issues into clear, evidence-based narratives that inform public discourse and policy. She also collaborates with advocacy groups and community leaders, ensuring that data-driven insights support real-world solutions. Whether researching wildfire displacement, tracking the health consequences of extreme heat, or developing interactive data tools, her work is driven by the urgency of climate change and the need for equity in public health.
