Daniela Fecht is Research Associate at the Small Area Health Statistics Unit (SAHSU), part of the MRC-PHE Centre for Environment and Health, Imperial College London. Her main research area is environmental epidemiology with particular focus on environmental justice, urban environments and small-scale exposure assessment. She obtained her first degree in biogeography from the Universitaet des Saarlandes in Germany and finished her PhD in environmental epidemiology at Imperial College in May 2011.

Her research examines the effects of social and physical environments on population health and how these vary across different subpopulations. She is particularly interested in the built environment as a determinant of social and environmental health and how urban design and patterns of green space can benefit human health and wellbeing. As a member of the Environmental Exposure Group within the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Imperial College London, she is also working on the development and application of geographical approaches and methods for exposure assessment and environmental health analysis making use of advanced Geographic Information Systems (GIS) methods.
