2025 RISE Award for Best Poster in Sustainable Development Category

I am deeply honored to receive the 2025 RISE Award for Best Poster in the Sustainable Development Category a recognition that holds great meaning for me both personally and professionally.

My research project, completed during my time at the Charles W. Davidson College of Engineering at San José State University, titled “Analyzing Construction Cost and Housing Using a Machine Learning Model: A Case Study in King County, Washington, USA,” explored how data-driven insights can inform sustainable housing decisions and improve cost analysis within construction planning. The study reflects my ongoing passion for leveraging technology and analytics to address real-world challenges in housing and infrastructure development.
