About Me
Hello! I am a PhD student advised by Dr. Zhe Zhu in the Global Environmental Remote Sensing (GERS) Lab at the University of Connecticut. I study how remote sensing can be used to fill gaps between the field and the sky. My work bridges ecohydrology and remote sensing to quantify how disturbances shape ecosystem function and resilience across contrasting U.S. landscapes. I am broadly interested in developing scalable, physically grounded monitoring tools that can inform drought response, rangeland and forest management, and coastal restoration decision-making.
Outside of research, I enjoy playing volleyball, disc golf, board games, video games, cooking, and being followed by my 3 cats: Bean, Frog, and Toad (see below).
