Fatemeh Izadi
PhD, Concordia Individualized (INDI) program (2020-2026; Maternity leave 2022) MA in Urban Design, The University of YAZD (2012) A trained architect and urban designer, Fatemeh integrates knowledge from design, engineering, and urban ecology to understand how built and green elements of cities can better promote urban "walkability", with a focus on thermal comfort. Her research falls within the Next Generation Cities Institute (co-advised by Concordia colleagues and collaborators Ursula Eicker, Carmela Cucuzzella, with the ideasbe project).

Lingshan Li
PhD, Concordia University, Geography, Planning, and Environment (2020 - 2025) MSc, Beijing Normal University (2019) Lingshan is studying the effects of vegetation and the built environment on urban microclimate in Montreal, using a combination of remote sensing and field-based approaches. Her research falls within the Next Generation Cities Institute (co-advised by Concordia colleagues and collaborators Ursula Eicker, Angela Kross), as well as the DesignLIFES NSERC CREATE. |

Kayleigh Hutt-Taylor (she/her)
MSc Student, Concordia Biology (2019-2021) Project Coordinator: Urban Nature-based climate solutions program (2022-2024) After completing her MSc in urban forestry, Kayleigh has stayed on in the lab to coordinate a national review of best practices in urban forestry to support nature-based climate solutions as well as migratory birds and species at risk, in collaboration with Dr. Barbara Frei at Environment and Climate Change Canada. She also led a workshop on cross-sectoral collaboration for urban nature-based solutions in Canada |

Samuel Evan Gonzales-Fleurant (he/him)
Technician BSc Biology, Concordia University (2023) Evan is a research assistant who helps on multiple projects. He is passionate about ecology, conservation, aquatic ecosystems, and learning! During the 2023 summer, he conducted an experiment investigating the temperature regulation services that Montreal’s informal green spaces (IGSs) have. He also helped run an exhibit linked to this experiment titled “ Worth Defending” which, amongst other things, demonstrated the value IGSs have. |

Niraj Dayanandan (he/him)
Research Assistant BA Student, Concordia University, Urban Planning (2020 - 2025) Niraj is interested in the intersection of urban ecology and city planning. He is working on meta-analysis of the cooling effects of green roofs with the DesignLIFES NSERC CREATE program. He aims to address the gap in current literature by analyzing data from rooftops around the world. He hopes that this study will guide future planning tools when implementing and assessing ecological infrastructure such as green roofs. |
