So nice to meet you and let's see if we're going to get started. Thanks, everybody for being here. I am once again Lindsay Baker and I'm one of your Co-hosts for the conference and I'm super excited today to introduce. Dr. Andrea Chegut who's with us from MIT. Welcome, Andrea. And so Andrea, I'm very excited to chat with you. Not only because the center at MIT that you direct is such an incredible Center on all things related to real estate and buildings and data and all of that but also because I am looking forward to having our audience here a little
bit about how to research as a community plays into the work that we have to do and transforming the real estate industry. And I think that is one of those things as you know, cuz I had this role at one point in my life at UC Berkeley in the center for the built environment these kinds of research centers are so critical for the industry to give us feedback and to really engage in the question what happens next was so thank you for being here and I wonder if you wouldn't just start by telling us a little bit about how you got into the work that you do and How
that background has helped you understand real estate great. Thank you so much. Thank you to the organizers for bringing me and hearing my perspective in here in MIT in the lab
