Summary
Joshua Eastman is a research-minded medical student and environmental engineer with 10 years of hands-on experience studying urban ecosystems and infrastructure. A Princeton BS in Environmental Engineering and award-winning senior thesis on non-destructive methods to measure urban tree carbon informs his current work at Princeton’s Urban Nexus Lab, where he develops LiDAR processing tools and co-authors grant proposals and papers. Now training in medical school with plans to specialize in pediatrics, he aims to blend clinical care with research and design of health-infrastructure systems that support childhood development in changing environments. Comfortable at the intersection of fieldwork, data-driven methods, and software, he brings practical skills in remote sensing, quantitative analysis, and collaborative research. He is equally at home advising students and leading campus ministries, reflecting a long-standing commitment to mentorship and community engagement. An unexpected throughline in his profile is the combination of deep technical rigor with a values-driven motivation to improve child and community health.
