About ME
I am a researcher who is passionate about using engineering and data science tools to improve the resilience of our infrastructure systems to adverse events. Professionally, I am a research environmental engineer at the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center. As part of the Risk and Decision Science team, I build tools to provide decision-makers with where to put resources in the face of adverse events both in the civilian and warfighter contexts. I also have significant research interests in the energy transition, especially how to ensure consistent and reliable electricity to meet the needs of modern society. I received my PhD in Civil Engineering at the University of Southern California, under the advisership of Professor Kelly T. Sanders. I also hold an MS in Applied Data Science from the University of Southern California and a BS in Environmental Engineering Science from the University of California, Berkeley. Previously, I have been named a Department of Defense SMART Scholar and was twice recognized as a Top 100 Global Leader of Tomorrow by the St. Gallen Symposium.
I believe that one of my most important roles as a researcher is to support the next generation of scientists and engineers, especially in guiding them to do research and build projects that genuinely support the greater good. I have served as a moderator for the National Science Bowl competition in over 50 regional and national events. I also helped to form a high-dose tutoring program at a non-profit youth center serving South Central LA.
