I’m an environmental geochemist who strives to understand the fundamental processes that control nutrient and contaminant cycling within the Earth’s critical zone. To address these questions, I pair numerical models with novel data streams — geophysical surveys and custom-built in situ sensors — and analyze the results using a suite of data science and machine learning techniques. You can find a copy of my CV here.

This broad topic includes research projects in several different areas:

1. Understanding focused groundwater recharge processes through stochastic modeling
2. Identifying controls on seasonal nutrient cycling in arid floodplains
3. Using custom-built in situ sensors to monitor the impacts of transient floods on groundwater quality
4. Developing new sensor hardware to measure trace contaminants in water
5. Combining numerical models and sensor data to create data-driven water quality forecasts
