SEED Congratulates Ying Zhou for receiving the "Best Comprehensive Exam" award!
When asked what prompted Ying to come to the University of Waterloo, her answer was her interest in pursuing sustainable communities and climate change research. Since completing her undergraduate degree at Queen's University in Environmental Science, Ying has become very interested in sustainable development and deep decarbonization on the local scale and she is really happy to be able to work with her Supervisor Dr. Amelia Clarke.
Ying's doctoral research aims to identify local decarbonization pathways and governance structures for municipalities in the Canadian context. Specifically, she will conduct analyses on the optimal pathways, strategies, actors, and governance arrangements for stimulating community-wide changes and achieving the 2050 Paris Agreement targets!
Congratulations Ying!
