I'm a third-year Ph.D. student in the Urban Infrastructure Lab at the Urban Design & Planning Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program at the University of Washington. I work on the intersection between artificial intelligence, climate action, and renewable energy. I'm a Pacific Northwest Climate Ambassador with Washington State Climate Office and Program on Climate Change. I am also a member of UW Solar, an interdisciplinary solar project organization at the university. I'm also affilated with Climate Solutions International.
