PhD Position at NYU CERA Lab

At the Climate, Energy, and Risk Analytics Lab (CERA), we drive innovation in understanding and managing climate risks and energy transitions using data-driven approaches with collaborations with stakeholders. Our cutting-edge research focuses on identifying, quantifying, and mitigating various climate risks including floods, heatwaves, and transition risks to build resilient communities, protect assets, and support institutions. Our research projects include: 

• Modeling Urban Flood Risks: Developing statistical and machine learning models and physics models to forecast and nowcast floods and their socioeconomic impacts. 
• Heatwave Impact Assessment: Analyzing the effects of heatwaves on public health and energy systems. The goal is to create adaptive strategies and decision-support tools to manage heatwave impacts on vulnerable populations. 
• Designing Optimal Protective Strategies: Developing decision-making frameworks and optimization algorithms to ensure cost-effective and equitable measures against various natural hazards using hazard and demographic data. 
• Transition Risk in Energy Systems: Investigating the risks associated with transitioning to renewable energy sources. This project involves quantitative financial risk assessment and scenario analysis to support sustainable energy policy and investment decisions.
