Hi! I am a post-doc co-supervised by Dr. Yoshua Bengio and Dr. David Rolnick.  Currently I  hold a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council postdoctoral fellowship. My research merges cutting-edge artificial intelligence methods with vetted energy conservation measures, for curbing emissions in new and existing buildings. I’m also the Scientific Lead for Racing to Zero, a non-profit where I combine my love of sports, environment, and systems engineering to assist sport organizations hone their sustainability playbooks.
