2026 • FORTHCOMING STUDIO REPORT • DIGITAL TWIN & URBAN PLANNING
Bancho Digital Twin /
2026 Tokyo Smart City Studio Final Report
Forthcoming Georgia Tech studio publication documenting the 2026 Tokyo Smart City Studio. My contributions included studio-wide GIS analysis and development of an ArcGIS Urban digital twin integrating spatial data, Rhino design proposals, building information, and performance metrics.
2026 • RESEARCH IN PROGRESS • LUNAR URBAN DESIGN
Human-Centered 3D Urban Design Framework for Lunar Settlement at Malapert Massif
Georgia Tech MCRP Applied Research Paper | Fall 2026
Ongoing Urban2Orbit research extending my completed lunar GIS site-selection work into a human-centered 3D master plan for Malapert Massif. The project uses existing terrain, slope, illumination, and hazard analysis as design constraints, then translates urban-design principles into a terrain-responsive settlement framework in Rhino.
The master plan organizes habitation, power and communications, logistics and mobility, landing operations, ISRU and industrial functions, and future expansion while emphasizing legibility, safety, connectivity, compactness, and phased growth.

The Sabalauski Air Assault School Graduate
Air Assault Operations Qualified | United States Military Academy
Completed the intensive three-phase Air Assault course covering rotary-wing operations, sling-load procedures, technical testing, and rappelling.
My class began with nearly 300 candidates; the sling-load phase alone eliminated roughly 40%, and fewer than 100 remained by graduation.
After repeated written, hands-on, and memorization-based evaluations during 11–18 hour training days, I completed the culminating 12-mile, 40-lb ruck over West Point’s hilly terrain in 2:45 and graduated as one of three women in my class to finish the course.

Battalion-Level Soldier of the Quarter
United States Military Academy, 1st Regiment, Delta Company
Selected through a progressive competitive process beginning at the company level and advancing against cadets from other companies at the battalion level. Evaluated on military knowledge and rapid memorization, uniform appearance and attention to detail, professional bearing, and the ability to respond accurately under pressure before a formal board. The recognition reflected consistent preparation, discipline, composure, and performance in a competitive military environment.
