Welcome to my personal page! I'm glad you're here!
I am a PhD candidate in the Earth and Planetary Sciences Program at Johns Hopkins University. Prior to pursuing my doctoral degree, I obtained my MPH in Epidemiology from Emory University. My expertise lies in satellite remote sensing, statistics, epidemiology, risk communication, machine learning, geospatial analysis, and climate modeling. With my interdisciplinary background, I aim to address the disproportionate impacts of climate-induced environmental hazards in neighborhoods disadvantaged by structural inequalities. My research thus far has focused on the impact of physical land characteristics and local weather on microclimate phenomena such as urban heat islands. My current research focuses on the association between extreme heat and air pollution on respiratory diseases in urban cities.
