Research Statement: I am currently focusing on leveraging geospatial analysis techniques to investigate the implications of natural hazards on factors such as transportation, mobility, and accessibility. Specifically, my research delves into the impact of hurricanes on accessibility and mobility patterns. My primary methodological approach involves the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), satellite image analysis, network analysis, as well as machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques. Through these methodologies, I aim to uncover the spatial and temporal patterns of vulnerability to natural hazards, examine individual and group mobility patterns, analyze evacuation behaviors, and assess disruptions to accessibility for critical facilities.
