I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo, Canada, from August, 2025.

My research bridges the dynamics of humans, nature, infrastructure, and institutions as coupled systems using quantitative and computational approaches from complex system science. I focus on analyzing system resilience and establishing sustainable management in varying systems. These days, I am particularly interested in urban climate resilience and social disparity as well as human migration/displacement/mobility issues in the relationship with climate and conflict. To solve knowledge gaps, I apply statistical models, machine-learning models, information theoretical approaches, complex system models, network analysis, and causal inference. See more in detail.
