Expertise

My research interests center on urban social vulnerability, equity planning, and community resilience. I am interested in exploring how plans and policies, particularly in the realm of climate change concerns, influence socially vulnerable populations and in identifying ways to ensure just and equitable outcomes from these plans. I have keen interests in Geographic Information Science and its applications in urban planning. In my current research, I am exploring how urban big data can be leveraged to analyze the space-time dynamics of social vulnerability within a city and how such dynamics can be considered in equity planning.
