I’m a data scientist with over 10 years of experience applying predictive modeling, machine learning, and geospatial analysis to problems where decisions have real-world, long-term consequences.

My work sits at the intersection of data science, domain expertise, and decision-making, with a focus on energy systems, infrastructure planning, and climate-related impacts.


How I Approach Problems

I’m most interested in problems where forecasting, uncertainty, and spatial context matter more than optimizing a single metric.

Across projects, I emphasize:

  • understanding system behavior rather than just fitting models
  • combining machine learning with simulation and scenario analysis
  • making uncertainty explicit and decision-relevant
  • building models that stakeholders can trust and act on

Areas of Focus

  • Predictive modeling & forecasting for energy, transportation, and public systems
  • Large Language Models for analysis, interpretation, and communication
  • Simulation and scenario analysis to explore future pathways under uncertainty
  • Geospatial analytics across large spatial and temporal scales
  • Uncertainty-aware modeling for decision support

Experience & Impact

I’ve worked across energy, climate, population, and public-health domains, collaborating with researchers, engineers, and policy-focused teams.

My work has:

  • supported infrastructure planning and electrification analysis
  • contributed to national-scale forecasting efforts
  • informed climate vulnerability and adaptation research
  • been published in Nature Communications, with an additional paper accepted for publication in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

What I Value in Collaboration

I enjoy working on teams that value:

  • rigorous thinking and open discussion
  • cross-disciplinary collaboration
  • clear communication between technical and non-technical audiences
  • models as tools for insight and decision-making, not ends in themselves
