Research Interests:
My current interests focus on studying how urban green and blue infrastructure helps cool Canadian cities by combining geospatial analysis, Earth observation techniques, and process-based modelling. I believe that understanding the nuances of the physical cooling processes can provide valuable insights for climate-resilient urban design, while motivating targeted future research on urban cooling.
