I am an assistant professor in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Center for Urban Science + Progress at New York University.
I lead Climate, Energy, and Risk Analytics (CERA) lab to identify and manage climate risks.
Prior to NYU, I was at Morgan Stanley in Climate Risk Management and Quantitative Strategy. I received a PhD in Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics from Columbia University in New York, NY. My focus is multi-hazard risk assessment and mitigation, socioeconomic impacts of hazards and climate change, and climate change adaptation.
For Prospective Students: CERA lab is looking for passionate students! Please refer here for the application instructions.
My research lies at the interface of data science, civil and environmental engineering, climate science, and business practice. I design data-driven and implementable solutions to address resource allocation problems and risks induced by climate change. I work with various public and private sectors for providing practical solutions and bridging the gap between climate science, engineering, and business.
I published multiple peer-reviewed journal papers and software.
Prior to Columbia, I received B.E. in System Design Engineering from Keio University.
