She was awarded the Environmental Defense Fund Climate Corps Business Case Award this past October, for the significant contribution of her summer fellowship research with the NYC Mayor’s Office of Resiliency. Her interests lie in identifying ways to increase occupants and contractors input in the design-operation phases of construction, and how that can maximize sustainability and resiliency of construction projects. Her Ph.D. research focuses on climate resilience, sustainability, multi-criteria decision making, housing, and technology. Specifically, she investigates the resilience of urban dwellers in the global south through a people centered approach. As a Research Assistant, she has been involved in Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ), construction technology, and construction decision management research.
