After 4 years of working for the leading global city network, I seized the opportunity to become a first-generation PhD in my family. With a scholarship from Heinrich-Böll Foundation, I currently conduct in-depth research about the governance of AI for climate change mitigation based on different European cities. Based at Technical University Berlin, I work with Prof. Dr. Felix Creutzig and Prof. Dr. Lynn Kaack. Through my research work, I aim to develop insights that can inform local governments and policy-makers who are curious about how to apply AI to reduce GHG emissions.
