I'm a hydrologist and interdisciplinary researcher currently pursuing a Ph.D. in the Department of Geography, Environment, and Spatial Sciences at Michigan State University, where I focus on water resources and policy-relevant research. Drawing on M.S. degrees in Earth and Environmental Engineering from Columbia University and in Computer and Information Technology from the University of Pennsylvania, I apply data-driven approaches that integrate hydrological modeling, remote sensing, and machine learning to address water resource problems through both physical and computational perspectives.
