I am a computational hydrologist who advances state-of-the-science Earth System Models by bringing a civil engineering perspective to understand how civil infrastructure and the built environment modulate freshwater quantity and quality under climate change. My guiding philosophy emphasizes parsimony and scalability, aiming to realistically represent fine-scale human footprints within large-scale Earth System Models. Rooted in real-world challenges, my research is conducted in close partnership with diverse communities and end users, including Indigenous communities, nonprofit organizations, and federal and local government agencies, to enhance the usefulness and usability of its products.

Prior to joining UB, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow and later transitioned to Project Scientist at the Research Applications Laboratory (RAL) at the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR).
