Research
My research looks at how different parts of an urban energy system—like buildings, infrastructure, and energy networks—work together to shape a city’s overall energy performance. Using urban energy modeling, I study how factors such as building types, HVAC systems, and renewable energy sources affect energy use across a city. I also evaluate the long-term energy, environmental, and economic impacts of urban development and identify potential risks to help create more resilient and sustainable cities.
