About Me

Hello and welcome to my page! Thank you for your interest in my work.

As a PhD candidate at the Faculty of Engineering Technology at the University of Twente, I am on a mission to revolutionize heat mitigation strategies using data-driven frameworks. By developing evidence-based approaches, I aim to make a difference in how we approach the relationship between the built environment and urban resilience.

Join me on this exciting journey to improve our cities and create a sustainable future!
