I am currently a doctoral scholar at the CUNY Graduate Center, working at the intersection of urban building sustainability, particularly within embodied carbon studies and localized climate policy, leveraging both computational modelling tools and localized adaptive building systems technology to work at the forefront of environmental policy as it relates to building and maintaining neighbourhoods, cities, and sustainable built landscapes, with the goal of becoming a professor or policy influencer at an institution addressing the most challenging questions at the intersection of these disciplines.
