About Me

Hello there, welcome to my page!

I’m an engineer passionate about research! Currently, my work is devoted to developing a data-driven decision support tool that captures the interplay between road infrastructure and  Urban Heat Islands (UHIs), to help contractors and decision-makers develop effective and achievable strategies for assessing/mitigating the impact of road infrastructure on UHIs. Drop me a line if you would like to know more about my research!
