Research Interests
My research interests lie at the intersection of urban planning and environmental sustainability, focusing on how policy, infrastructure, and human activity shape environmental outcomes in cities. I am especially interested in evaluating the effectiveness of urban policies and planning strategies, such as heat mitigation initiatives, land use planning, and climate adaptation measures, and how these interventions impact both environmental performance and social equity.
