Introduction
I am currently conducting my master thesis on the topic of hashtag activism during social movements. Through the use of a large collection of tweets from the #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd social movement from June 2020, I am studying the ways in which hashtag activism can contribute to institutional reform in the United States. I am most interested in focusing on geo-located tweets to track twitter activity spatially and put it into context with civic protests and place based reform initiatives.

Disparity in spatial accessibility is strongly associated with growing inequalities among urban communities. Since improving levels of accessibility for certain communities can provide them with upward social mobility and address social exclusion and inequalities in cities, it is important to understand the nature and distribution of spatial access...

This report contains a visual narrative on the impact of COVID-19 on mobility in the Greater London Area (GLA). We use data from The Health Foundation, Google and the Greater London Authority to visualize how the pandemic has impacted the use of public transportation, visits to essential services, leisure activities, and work-life over the course o...
Together with Mikhail Sirenko and Trivik Verma at the TU Delft Computational Urban Science and Policy (CUSP) lab, we have developed an open source computational framework to assist planners in the design of more equitable accessibility policies. Our framework uses open data, network science and machine learning to measure equality in access to infr...
This report contains an analysis of the tree canopy cover and impervious surfaces in Metro Vancouver. Measuring tree canopy cover is a relatively simple way to determine the extent of the urban forest and the magnitude of services it provides. Impervious surfaces are associated with many of the negative effects of urbanization such as increased tem...
When implemented in the right location, solar energy provides many benefits. UBC, Vancouver campus, has extensive roof area that could be used for implementation of solar energy facilities such as Photovoltaic solar arrays. However, whether it is beneficial to implement these facilities depends on a variety of influencing factors. This study provid...
