I'm currently a postdoctoral research associate at the Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My research seeks to advance the sustainability of engineered systems through experimentation and quantitative sustainable design (QSD) – a systematic approach that integrates concepts associated with sustainability science and engineering. Specifically, I am interested in (i) developing technologies and systems for renewable products from wastes and biomass, and (ii) leveraging the QSD methodology for the research, development, and deployment (RD&D) of technologies and inform decision-making.
