Tanya TALWAR

Tanya is a PhD researcher with Future resilient systems with expertise in sustainable and climate resilient design.

In her thesis research, she is leveraging CFD tools to assess the heatwaves in the tropics and role of urban design and morphology in mitigating the heat risks due to extreme temperatures.

Tanya holds a Master’s degree in Integrated Sustainable Design from National University of Singapore. During her studies, she worked extensively on developing a future policy framework for the self-sufficient city of Singapore. The project raised discussions on topical subjects, like circular economy, building integrated agriculture, accessible public infrastructure, and water efficiency at building, neighborhood and city scales.

She was also part of the team that won the Microsoft Azure hackathon on Agro-tech development in Singapore. More information can be found in this external page walkthrough and external page article.
