Yuki_Miura

For Prospective Students: Contact me to join my research group to leverage urban and climate data to identify, quantify, and mitigate climate risks and natural hazards while collaborating with stakeholders to develop actionable solutions.

Bio: Professor Miura joined the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and the Center for Urban Science and Progress at NYU in 2024. She is also a faculty advisory board member at the Volatility and Risk Institute at NYU Stern School of Business. Previously, she worked at Morgan Stanley in climate risk management and quantitative strategy. 

Her research is at the intersection of engineering, climate science, finance, and social sciences. She develops data-driven strategies to mitigate natural hazards and build resilient cities. By coupling advanced modeling with in-depth understanding of socioeconomic factors, she provides actionable solutions for both public and private institutions. She has collaborated with the National Center of Atmospheric Research and the governments of New York State/City. Her work has been recognized through publications in leading journals and featured in The New Yorker.
