Associate Professor Ming Kuo runs the Landscape and Human Health Lab at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. The lab focuses on the connection between the natural world (trees, grass, flowers, and green space) and outcomes related to healthy human functioning, such as crime and violence; strength of community; well-being and coping; exercise and vitality; and attention, executive-functions, self-control, and learning. Her work helps cities provide a healthy human habitat for their residents by showing the benefits of urban greening.
