I am PhD Candidate in Urban Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I am also a graduate researcher at the MIT Center for Real Estate and Sustainable Urbanization Lab, where I coordinate research efforts in climate-resilient real estate. 

My research focuses on urban resilience to environmental risks. I integrate applied economics with new data and data science technologies to understand how adaptations of people and places shape the economic and equity impacts of urban environmental risks. My most recent research agenda is on climate resilient infrastructure and real estate.
