Dr. Yuki Miura serves as Assistant Professor at New York University's Tandon School of Engineering in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP), with additional affiliations at NYU Stern's Volatility and Risk Institute and the New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC5).
Her academic credentials include a Ph.D. (2022), M.Phil. (2021), and M.S. (2017) in Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics from Columbia University, complemented by a B.Eng. in System Design Engineering from Keio University (2015).
Dr. Miura's research integrates engineering, climate science, finance, and social sciences to develop actionable resilience solutions. Her work focuses on climate risk quantification, urban adaptation strategies, and socioeconomic impact modeling through advanced data analytics. She pioneers methodologies that couple physical climate modeling with socioeconomic vulnerability assessments to deliver implementable risk mitigation frameworks for public and private institutions.
Her publication portfolio demonstrates consistent advancement in climate risk analytics, with recent work addressing urban flooding dynamics, precipitation extremes, and infrastructure protection. These studies reveal a distinct trajectory toward integrated risk modeling that bridges climate physics with financial and social dimensions, increasingly leveraging AI-driven approaches for compound hazard assessment.
Recognition for her contributions includes the Mindlin Scholar award from Columbia University (2022), with research featured in The New York Times, The New Yorker, and The Nikkei.
As director of the Climate, Energy, and Risk Analytics Lab (CERA), Dr. Miura mentors graduate students in developing data-driven solutions for climate resilience. Her industry experience at Morgan Stanley (2021-2024) in climate risk management directly informs her applied research approach, fostering strong connections between academic innovation and real-world implementation.
CERA operates as an interdisciplinary hub developing AI-driven methodologies for urban flood modeling, compound climate risk assessment, and socioeconomic impact analysis. The lab maintains active collaborations with the National Center for Atmospheric Research and New York City/State governments to translate research into actionable climate adaptation policies.
