Hi! I am a PhD student at the MIT Institute for Data, Systems, and Society. My project focuses on building a technology assessment framework to evaluate the environmental impacts and costs of powertrain technologies for cars in the United States. I use a combination of systems analysis, statistics, and powertrain simulation to gauge factors that influence the environmental and economic performance of these technologies, such as travel behavior, geographical conditions, and vehicle automation. The resulting framework allows me to construct feasible technology evolution scenarios that meet emission targets for personal transportation.

I'm also interested in exploring the intersection of web design and science communication. I build data visualization tools for a wide audience to interactively explore results on vehicle technology evaluation. Find my first project under Data Visualization.

In my spare time, you'll sometimes find me behind the viewfinder of a camera, especially when travelling. I've allowed myself to share a couple of pictures. Enjoy!
