I’m Hiyaa Rathod, a rising sophomore at UNC-Chapel Hill studying Data Science and Health Policy & Management. I’m passionate about using sustainability data to drive resilience in bio-based systems, from biomass supply chains to circular economies. With experience in sustainability audits and food recovery research at UNC, as well as coral reef restoration in Phuket, I’m excited to explore innovative solutions like biomass cultivation and rare earth recovery to reshape supply chains and rural economies.
