Background
I am Kien Pham (Ray), an environmental researcher with a PhD in Earth and Environmental Sciences from Gustave Eiffel University. My work examines urban ecosystems, ecosystem services, and the contribution of nature-based solutions to resilient cities.
Research interests
My research focuses on urban resilience and sustainability, including the systematic assessment of urban nature-based solutions and the ecosystem services they provide. I enjoy turning research methods and findings into accessible writing and interactive visualizations — you can find examples in the Research section.
Teaching and project work
Alongside research, I take part in teaching, workshops, and academic service. A summary of these engagements, together with professional development activities and the results of my mentees, is available in my CV.
Collaboration and services
Since 2016 I have written about preparing study-abroad applications, and over the years I have supported mentees in winning full government scholarships, with many others receiving admission offers with funding for master's and PhD programs. I offer one-on-one coaching for motivation letters, study plans, and scholarship essays.
