Micaha Dean Hughes, a member of the Hub’s evaluation team and Ph.D. candidate at North Carolina State University, uses data to tell stories that humanize CHEER’s research and amplify its social and scientific impact.
Hesam Soleimani-Babakamali, a postdoc on CHEER’s buildings thrust, uses big data and AI tools to help the Hub tackle its research goals – no matter the scale.
Hongrak Pak has embraced innovative tools to analyze dozens of government documents. Connecting these dots – and identifying subtle patterns, inconsistencies, and gaps across the text – empowers experts to improve hazard planning and enhance policy development.
No one can predict the future, but Jackson Parker – a PhD student on the hazards thrust – is looking back on climate data to move forward.
Postdoctoral researcher Chris Szpilka has a passion for solving problems. Now a year into working with the Hub, she’s patching holes and optimizing workflows in CHEER’s hazards thrust.
As a PhD student with a background in geography and urban planning, Nelson Adeniji’s work on the economy and household thrusts exemplifies the Hub’s interdisciplinary approach to research.
