About me
I’m a Ph.D. candidate in structural engineering at Lehigh University. My research advisor is Dr. Paolo Bocchini. My general research interests include resilience of infrastructure systems and catastrophe modeling. Specifically, my Ph.D. studies focus on the risk and resilience analysis of electric power systems against natural hazards, such as wildfires and hurricanes.
In my spare time, I enjoy running and reading. I’m also a seasonal sucker for ice cream and nuts (allegedly emotional/revenge eating).
