• Developed high-resolution (10m) thermal comfort maps for NYC to assess the heat stress of micromobility users during heatwaves by coupling the WRF mesoscale climate model with the SOLWEIG micro-scale urban model.• Simulated mean radiant temperature (MRT) for New York City at hourly intervals using the SOLWEIG model, incorporating detailed urban morphology data such as building geometry, land cover, and tree canopy.• Analyzed the relationship between extreme heat and mobility patterns in New York City, focusing on how income levels across neighborhoods correlate with disruptions in travel behavior during heat events.• Utilized ArcGIS, human mobility flow datasets, and satellite imagery to quantify heat exposure in the nine largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas in California and New York State, identifying key urban heat drivers.• Conducted a 20-page literature review on the influence of urban morphology on the Urban Heat Island effect.

• Evaluated the water purification performance of three Point-of-Use (POU) water treatment systems sold on Amazon using technically robust EPA Analytical Methods, ensuring compliance with water quality standards.• Designed and assembled a bench-scale water filtration setup for reproducible and reliable effluent sampling. • Characterized water chemistry via titration and ion chromatography to cross-check manufacturer claims.
