PhD Student / Graduate Research Assistant
CU Boulder Living Materials Laboratory
Funded by the NSF Graduate Research Fellow Program, I am pursuing a PhD to investigate statistical uncertainty quantification, variability, and error propagation in embodied carbon data for whole-building life-cycle assessment. I hope to leverage this research to standardize biogenic carbon accounting and whole-life carbon analysis with operational and embodied carbon.
My background is in civil/structural engineering with BS/MS (Rice University / UC Berkeley) and 2+ years experience designing large commercial buildings and stadiums with Walter P Moore. I also spent 1 year developing the City of Austin's strategy to mitigating embodied carbon as part of the Climate Equity Plan, adopted in 2015 and updated in 2021. I have leveraged this experience and my passion for sustainability to help decarbonize the building industry, focusing on embodied carbon of building materials.
Talk to me about embodied carbon! I have given guest lectures and presentations at Columbia University GSAPP, AIA chapters, and CLF hubs and I always look forward to hearing new perspectives. I have served various volunteer and technical consulting roles for the Carbon Leadership Forum, LeMessurier, and cove.tool and I love helping people spring to action to address embodied carbon through design work, local policy action, and education/awareness.
