PhD in Public Policy
Dipa Desai is a PhD student in Public Policy at the School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs, with a concentration in Sustainability and Resilience. She is curious about the connections among current climate change, social injustice, and economic inequity. She is broadly interested in equitable climate adaptation and mitigation solutions for coastal cities.

Prior to arriving at Northeastern, Dipa studied marine fossils to understand how past events of rapid climate change affected polar ice and sea level rise. She holds a BS in Biology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
