I am a computational hydrologist, engineer, and scientist working on solutions for water resources and climate. My research aims to aid actionable decision-making by improving hydrological information for monitoring and forecasting hydrological extremes and their impacts at the local scales. To this end, I develop scalable computational approaches for high-resolution hydrological prediction by leveraging advances in satellite remote sensing, land surface modeling, machine learning, data fusion, and high-performance computing.

Currently, I am working on satellite land data assimilation for Earth System Models as a researcher in the Atmospheric and Ocean Science Program at Princeton University and visiting research scientist at the NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory. Prior, I worked on water resources and environmental engineering consulting. I hold a M.A. and Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Princeton University.

For my contribution to science, I was awarded the 2022 AGU Science for Solutions Award for “outstanding contributions to water and food security through advances in hyper-resolution land surface modeling and satellite remote sensing” and the 2022 Paul F. Boulos Excellence in Computational Hydrology Award by the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists.

News: Starting in July 2024, I will join Rice University as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth, Environment, and Planetary Sciences. Prospective PhD students and postdocs keen on contributing to the fields of computational hydrology and remote sensing are encouraged to revise the positions’ details and reach out.
