Sami­ra Sid­dique is an MS/​PhD can­di­date in the Ener­gy and Resources Group. Her stud­ies focus on the inter­con­nect­ed social, eco­nom­ic, and phys­i­cal process­es of urban­iza­tion and cli­mate change in Asia. She was pre­vi­ous­ly an inter­na­tion­al devel­op­ment researcher at Math­e­mat­i­ca Pol­i­cy Research, where her work includ­ed an eval­u­a­tion of the Glob­al Pro­to­col for Com­mu­ni­ty-scale Green­house Gas Emis­sions in cities world­wide. Pri­or to that, she was a researcher at the Inter­na­tion­al Cen­tre for Cli­mate Change and Devel­op­ment in Dha­ka, Bangladesh, and at the Cen­ters for Dis­ease Con­trol and Pre­ven­tion. She received her BA from Wes­leyan Uni­ver­si­ty in the Col­lege of Social Stud­ies and the Col­lege of the Envi­ron­ment.  Sami­ra has inter­ests in ener­gy in con­flict set­tings,  and in urban cli­mate adaptation.

A 2018 paper sum­ma­riz­ing her research focus can be found in The Dha­ka Tri­bune, here, and in the RAEL Pub­li­ca­tions Direc­to­ry.
