As a postdoctoral researcher at Mila specializing in machine learning for sustainable buildings, I bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI technology and practical building operations. My background in construction & design brings a unique perspective to my machine learning work.
Before my academic career, I competed in two Olympic Games, an experience that taught me about dedication and performance under pressure.
Developing machine learning models to optimize HVAC control systems, reducing energy consumption while maintaining occupant comfort.
Thinking critically about when and which technology, including passive and active approaches, bring the best results.
Under supervision of Dr. Yoshua Bengio and Dr. David Rolnick at Mila, leading research in sustainable building operations through machine learning applications and cross-disciplinary initiatives.
University-level instruction and mentorship in engineering and sustainability, with focus on graduate education.
Two-time Olympian in the sport of modern pentathlon, continuing to work in a volunteer role for Racing To Zero helping green grassroots and elite sport.
Board governance and non-profit leadership in sustainability and policy initiatives.
