Biography

Born in the Philippines, I moved to California in 1989. My past education and experience have been grounded in environmental engineering, specifically water and sanitation issues, but I hope to explore related socio-economic and policy issues at Cambridge. My research here is focused on developing ecological sanitation alternatives for urban areas in both developing and industrialized countries. I'm also hoping to round out my technical education with courses in the humanities and interactions with people from other disciplines. After Cambridge, I plan to return to public service and eventually pursue a leadership position in environmental management and policy.
