NETWORK SCIENCE & EPIDEMIOLOGICAL MODELING

Epidemic dynamics in urban transit networks

How does the architecture of a transit network influence the velocity and scale of an infectious disease outbreak?

I developed a stochastic simulation model to study pathogen transmission across varying subway network configurations. By programming a Second-Order Markov Process with realistic commuter movement, the project quantified how network centrality and path redundancy are primary drivers for viral spread. This model is a framework for sustainable infrastructure design and can be used to improve public health outcomes in high-density urban environments.

EXPLORATORY DATA ANALYSIS

Analyzing Language in Climate Articles

How do rhetorical strategies in articles about climate change shape public perception?

I applied web scraping and text processing tools to study rhetorical patterns in climate articles. By analyzing positive and negative sentiment, I identified language indicative of factual versus persuasive information, exploring how the strategic use of sentiment influences public reception and understanding of issues related to climate change.

Walkability in the United States

How are socioeconomic factors impacting walkability scores across the USA?

I conducted a national walkability analysis, examining relationships between walkability scores, public health outcomes, and various quality-of-life indicators. Using demographic data, this project analyzed patterns across diverse populations, including disability and race, providing data-driven evidence for urban planning focused on equal access to transit infrastructure.

The Expanding Red Dot: Monitoring Singapore's Coastlines

How has extensive land reclamation altered the Singapore coastline?

I utilized remote sensing to monitor Singapore's coastal transformation from extensive land reclamation projects. By processing Landsat satellite imagery and applying NDWI and band thresholding, I visualized changes in coastline boundaries and land expansion. These findings assess human impact on coastal ecosystems for future environmental management and policy decisions.

Mapping On-Campus Activism

How can a data-driven, map-based platform be used to document and understand the patterns and experiences of student activists?

I developed an interactive website platform featuring a map visualization of the Spring 2024 student encampments at UCLA. This project works as a tool for individuals to contribute their own experiences and hear those of others, creating digital documentation and offering a data-driven understanding of the dynamics, patterns, and geography of activism on campus.
