I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of City and Regional Planning at UC Berkeley. My work focuses on the role of urban planning and design in shaping uneven vulnerability and resilience in the face of climate change.
My book, The Equitably Resilient City: Solidarity and Struggle in the Face of Climate Crises, is under contract with MIT Press. The book is co-authored with Dr. Lawrence J. Vale of MIT’s Resilient Cities Housing Initiative.
My next book project, Making and Unmaking the Dry City, examines the historical evolutions and contemporary problematics of flood mitigation in two delta cities, New Orleans and Dhaka, Bangladesh.
After receiving my PhD from MIT’s Department of Urban Studies and Planning in 2018, I was a Princeton Mellon Fellow in Urbanism and the Environment.
