Short Biography: Dr. Niem Huynh is of Chinese descent, born in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly known as Saigon), Viet Nam. Due to the political unrest, her family departed and was kindly accepted by Canada. She grew up in Toronto, Ontario, and enjoyed a multicultural atmosphere. In her undergraduate studies, she trained to become a high school geography and biology teacher, but graduate school changed her life course. Her research interests stem from inspirational teaching moments in the classroom. Currently, Dr. Huynh is excited to explore geography learning (e.g., what geospatial concepts should be taught when and how) and the process of problem solving with technology (GIS). A secondary research interest has roots from her Master's thesis, how cognitive processing might be illuminated by sequence of analysis of sketch map creation.
