My research aims to make sustainable water supply a reality for water-stressed regions. Working with Professor Richard Luthy's research group, I seek to understand the role that alternative water supply strategies (such as water reuse, stormwater capture, and storage) can play in resolving the gap between existing water supplies and present and future.

Stanford, California, United States

Developed policy, leadership, and communications skills targeted towards bridging research and policymaking at the state and federal levels. Met with leaders serving in government, NGO, and think tank roles to pitch research and learn about their efforts advancing environmental policy solutions.

Villanova, PA

Initiated an independent study with Dr. Bridget Wadzuk and Dr. Virginia Smith examining flow behavior through a constructed stormwater wetland. Utilized tracer methods to evaluate the performance of a moveable control gate for real-time dynamic operation. Complemented these tests with a literature review of dynamic, data-driven maintenance programs, a.

Villanova, PA

Supported water quality testing (solids, nutrients, metals, etc.) and maintenance of stormwater control research sites with the Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership. Compiled fact sheets detailing the design and performance of 7 research sites to support educational tours. Developed spreadsheet and database protocols for more efficient, reliable analysis.

Lincoln, NE

Conducted independent research at University of Nebraska-Lincoln as part of the National Science Foundation's Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. Collaborated with faculty and graduate students within the Departments of Civil Engineering and Biological Systems Engineering.Working with Dr. Xu Li, I analyzed physical and biological metrics.

Philadelphia, PA

Performed infiltration testing and data analysis for 29 bioswales as part of a maintenance optimization study for the NYC Department of Environmental Protection. Trained field crew members on testing protocols. Quantified canopy coverage using reconstructed aerial photographs of the bioswale sites.Managed work orders for surface watering and subsurface.

Blacksburg, VA

Conducted independent research at Virginia Tech as part of the National Science Foundation's Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. Collaborated with faculty and graduate students within the Department of Forest Resources and Environmental Conservation on an ongoing study of hydrologic controls on wetland function at the Great Dismal.

Morris, IL
