Corporate Climate Credibility
PhD Dissertation
01
As an Instructor at Stanford University with a PhD from Stanford Management Science & Engineering, I combine over five years of applied research and teaching experience with a focus on data science and sustainability. My work integrates the analysis of large-scale text data and emissions forecasting models, facilitating organizations' efforts to meet climate and sustainability goals.
With expertise in university teaching, generative AI, and data-driven insights, I empower individuals and organizations to address global challenges. By aligning data science methodologies with actionable strategies, I contribute to meaningful system changes that support decarbonization and sustainable development.
Currently based San Francisco Bay Area, exploring opportunities to apply data science and research to global sustainable development challenges with far-reaching impact. Lifelong internationally-performing violinist and musician, passionate about collaborative improvisation and circular economy. Creative community builder and activist.
