Research

My research aims to quantify how organizational climate actions and digital infrastructure growth shape air quality and public health across space, time, and sectors, advancing policy-relevant tools to align decarbonization with environmental outcomes.

I employ statistical and numerical modeling tools in assessing and quantifying policy outcomes, including chemical transport model, energy optimization model, machine learning and causal inference.
