About Me

I am currently an Assistant Professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ.

I build tools to examine and inform sustainable solutions to environmental issues like clean air and climate change.  I develop integrated assessment models to assess the impacts of sustainable infrasctrure, including energy, buildings, and transportation. These models represent atmospheric processes, environmental policies, and economic impacts. My research group and I use them to explore the effect of sustainable infrastructure and climate change policy on multipollutant health and economic impacts.

I have had the privilege of working with a lot of great people. Currently, this includes my students and colleagues here at U. À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ.
