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 serve as the student representative on the steering committee of our Ph.D. program. I am also a member of UW Solar, an interdisciplinary solar project organization at the university. I am fortunate to be advised by Dr. Jan Whittington and Dr. Qing Shen. I'm generously supported by the Microsoft Research AI & Society Fellowship and the Hall-Ammerer-WRF Ph.D. Fellowship in Interdisciplinary Studies. Details are in my CV.
