I am an ESRC Impact Innovation Fellowship postdoctoral researcher and widening participation practitioner at the University of Warwick. My current research examines the historical foundations of the 'othering' of Muslim women, and I am using virtual reality to show the lived experiences of Muslim women in colonialism. It further focuses on how the othering of Muslim women has been perpetuated in the arts and literature. I have further co-founded and coordinated the Colonial Hangover project, an outreach project for schools that examines the hidden legacies of colonialism. My PhD focused on Muslim group identity using securitisation theory, which I explored by focusing on the Muslim Council of Britain, Hizb ut Tahrir and the Quilliam Foundation. I have further been a research assistant on a project that focused on health inequalities and older adults' experiences from a BAME background during the Covid -19 crisis.

I am an assistant professor at the Penn State University, with a joint appointment between the School of International Affairs and Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. I serve as the associate director for the Initiative for Sustainable Energy Policy in the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, and the associate director for Penn State's Center for Climate Risk Management.
My research aims to inform energy policy in both emerging markets and advanced economies to align their decarbonization efforts with local environmental and socioeconomic concerns, such as air pollution, public health, water conservation, and economic development. I use a variety of modeling methods to generate policy-relevant information, including atmospheric chemistry and transport model (e.g. WRF-Chem), integrated assessment model (e.g. GCAM, GAINS, RICE), as well as optimization model.
I received my PhD degree in Science, Technology and Environmental Policy from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University, and my bachelors degree in Environmental Science from Peking University, China. Before coming to Penn State, I was a Giorgio Ruffolo Post-Doctoral Fellow and a Research Associate with the Belfer Center for Science and International affairs at the J.F.
