I am currently a PhD student in Regional Planning at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a Research Assistant at the Smart Energy Design Assistance Center (SEDAC). My overarching interests are social / environmental sustainability and international comparative urban studies. I enjoying observing, reflecting and writing about how humans interact with the built environment. I hope my work will to contribute significant "food for thought" that will lead to enhancement of the physical environment (and planning processes), while simultaneously improving residential quality of life. |  |
