My principal interests are the development of sustainable urban systems that improve quality of life for people and work in harmony with the natural environment through the utilization of clean and renewable energy, the application of technology, and the design of circular economic systems.
Driven by a strong commitment to environmental stewardship, I bring a multidisciplinary background in environmental regulation, chemistry, soil carbon sequestration, and water quality.
Professor Ray’s research interests are water and development; technology and development; common property resources; and social science research methods. Her research projects focus on access to water and sanitation for the rural and urban poor, and on the role of technology in improving livelihoods.
