I am a water resources engineer and interdisciplinary environmental scientist focused on advancing watershed-scale conservation through

modeling, stakeholder collaboration, and field-based solutions. Currently a postdoctoral researcher at The Ohio State University, I work on edge-of-field nutrient mitigation strategies, phosphorus filter evaluations, and SWAT+ modeling for agricultural systems.

My background spans engineering, data science, and socio-hydrology. I’m passionate about using science to inform practical decision-making that protects the ecosystem and public health.

Research Interests:

  • Watershed hydrology and water quality modeling (SWAT, SWAT+)
  • Conservation practices and edge-of-field phosphorus filters
  • Climate change, sea level rise, and nitrate transport
  • Socio-hydrological policy evaluation
  • Remote sensing, big data analytics, machine learning in hydrology
