Quantifying the role of Disaster Aid |
Research Assistant
December 2020 ~ Current
This research project led by Dr. Allison Reilly at the University of Maryland focuses on determining the role that disaster aid has on communities. When major disasters such as hurricanes or fires occur, state governments can seek federal aid to help repair or mitigate costs. However, major discrepancies can occur when federal aid is given to states or local communities. The overall goal is to evaluate the economic and social impacts.
• Analyzed data provided by NOAA, FEMA, SHELDUS, CDBG-R, and SBA to determine how disaster aid was/is allocated to various states and counties.
• Cleaned various datasets that had thousands to millions of entries so they could be manipulated and analyzed effectively through tools such as R, SQLite, and Python.
• Packaged R analysis and cleaning scripts for better streamlining of future work.

Research Assistant
November 2020 ~ April 2021
This research project led by Dr. Ning Zeng at the University of Maryland focuses on measuring CO2, PPM2.5, temperature, and humidity indoors and outdoors on and around the University of Maryland College Park campus through sensors. High levels of CO2 can impact both the infrastructure and personnel in an environment. To the prevent spread of infectious diseases, improve energy efficiency, and increase ventilation, our research hopes to enlighten college students and university facilities to act and react to the changing indoor climate.
• Effectively led a team to write grant proposals to the office of sustainability to support the research team’s goals.
