Climate change related weather events increasingly threaten our homes and surrounding environments, placing significant stress on human health and well-being. My research examines the impact of adverse weather events—particularly extreme heat and air pollution—on human health and learning. I also investigate how environmental systems in urban schools and neighborhoods can mitigate these exposures, thereby enhancing health and learning across the life course. Through utilizing spatial modeling and land surveying methods, I identify high-priority areas for

Having earned my master's degree in polymer engineering, I've dedicated my research to the use of nanomaterials such as nanofibers, nanoparticles, and hydrogels for biomedical and textile applications. My master's thesis explored the development of nanofibrous wound dressings as an innovative treatment for cutaneous leishmaniasis. Since then, as a member of the Department of Fiber Science and Apparel Design, my focus has expanded to encompass the development of functional fibers and textiles for health and
