I am a Research Fellow at the Manchester Architecture Research Centre at the University of Manchester and a visiting research fellow at the Center for Sustainable Development at the University of Texas at Austin. I completed a Ph.D. in Community and Regional Planning from the University of Texas at Austin where my doctoral research was on the political and cultural aspects of stormwater runoff.
