-Welcome! I am a data scientist applying machine learning tools and causal
-inference techniques to remote sensing data. I am also an affiliated
-researcher with the [Data-driven Analysis of Peace Project](https://dapp-lab.org)
-and a research collaborator with the 
-[Research on International Policy Implementation Lab](https://bridgingthegapproject.org/ripil).
+Greeting! I am a Ph.D. candidate in the deparment of civil and environmental engineering (CEE) at the University of Maryland (UMD), currently conducting reserach as part of [Dr.Baecher's](https://cee.umd.edu/clark/faculty/244/Gregory-B-Baecher) esteemed reserach group. I am also a research collaborator with the 
+[Risk-Informed Solutions in Engineering Laboratory](https://riselab.umd.edu/). I received M.S.in civil engineering in project management from UMD in 2020 and M.S.in civil engineering in structure engineering from San Franciso State University (SFSU) in 2018. 
+
+My academic work has been published or is forthcoming in esteemed journals such as the *International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction*, the *Journal of Biomedical Informatics*, the *Journal of Construction Engineering and Management*, the *Fire Safety Journal*, and the J*ournal of Air Transport Management*, among others. These [researches](reserach) focus on harnessing crowdsourced information to enhance informed decision-making in emergency management spanning a spectrum from disaster response and pandemic preparedness to humanitarian crises. The ultimate goal is to play a role in fostering resilient and sustainable communities, thus contributing to a better future for all.

-I earned my Ph.D in Political Science from the

-B.A. in Political Science from [Haverford College](https://www.haverford.edu).
-My academic work has been [published](publications) or is forthcoming in
-*International Studies Quarterly*, *Conflict Management and Peace Science*,
-*Political Science Research and Methods*, and *PS: Political Science & Politics*,
-among other outlets. This [research](research) explores the causes and
-consequences of political violence using a broad variety of methods such as
-latent variable models, geospatial analysis, and big data. While primarily
-focused on civil conflict, it also examines contentious political phenomena
-including terrorism and economic statecraft, and develops new measures of
-institutions in international relations. I have [teaching](teaching) experience
-in both quantitative methodology and international relations, and am a certified

-My academic research falls into two main areas: understanding the influence of
-geography on actor behavior before, during, and after civil conflict, and
-developing new tools to improve the study of institutions (both formal and
-informal) in peace and conflict. One strand of research in this first area
-explores how the territories that ethnic groups inhabit shape rebel group
-formation and condition their relationship with the state. My interest in
-geography also informs projects on active conflicts including the targeting of
-UN peacekeepers by insurgent groups, civilian victimization after rebel
-territorial conquest, and communal violence in fragile settings.
+My primary research thrust revolves around the effective utilization of human-generated data, with a specific
+emphasis on harnessing crowdsourced information. My objective is twofold: firstly, to advance our comprehension
+of community resilience and to facilitate informed decision-making and management strategies for
+natural disasters and unforeseen events. Secondly, to explore the nexus of humans, infrastructure, and climate change in urban environments,
+with a vision of contributing to a sustainable future. At the core of my research lies a robust data-driven
+framework, encompassing cutting-edge techniques such as machine learning, deep learning, and epidemic
+modeling. My research interest extends across several pivotal domains: computational simulations for infrastructure
+reliability, AI-enabled risk assessment and monitoring, and transforming education with AI.
 
-My other main research agenda uses advanced methods to develop new measures of
-institutions. One project uses Bayesian item response theory to measure the
-strength of peace agreements as a latent variable and free researchers from
-post-treatment bias caused by using the duration of agreements as a proxy for
-their strength. In others, I apply unsupervised learning techniques to over a
-billion observations of product-level international trade data to measure
-economic interdependence and illicit economic exchange.
-
-In a new avenue of research, I leverage social media data to explore
-participation in extremist movements across multiple contexts, gaining insight
-into the early stages of radicalization.

-Research plays a central role in my teaching as students improve their
-analytical skills and master the tools of data analysis through hands-on
-experience. I have taught undergraduate courses on political violence and
-statistical methodology. While at UNC, I taught the graduate statistics lab for
-Advanced Topics in Political Data Science, where my work was recognized by the
-Political Science Department's Earle Wallace Award for Graduate Student
-Teaching. I also served as a teaching assistant for courses in international
-relations and American politics at UNC, in addition to the ICPSR Summer Program
-where I was a teaching assistant for a course on Bayesian modeling in the social
-sciences. I am also a
