Network resilience, GIScience, Machine Learning

BA in City and Regional Planning, Nanjing University
MLA in Environmental Planning, College of Environmental Design, UC Berkeley

Yiyi He is a Ph.D. student from the Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning program advised by Prof. John Radke. She received her bachelor’s degree in City and Regional Planning from Nanjing University and her master’s degree in Environmental Planning from UC Berkeley. She also works as a researcher for the Center for Catastrophic Risk Management at UC Berkeley. Her research focuses on climate-induced weather impacts on complex infrastructure networks. Her previous work involves using 3D hydrodynamic flood models to simulate flooding in the Bay Area under different climate scenarios and analyze the impact of both coastal and inland flooding on a multi-modal fuel transportation network. She hopes to bring environmental studies and network science together and utilize tools in data science and modeling to help identify network vulnerabilities to climate-induced extreme weather events and to help inform the development of contingency plans to increase network resilience.
