I am a civil engineer with interests spanning hydraulics, geomorphology, and hydrology. I use combinations of field observations, physical experiments, and numerical simulations to study how water and sediment interacts in fluvial environments. I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Environmental Fluid Mechanics Group at University of Washington. My current primary project involves integrating a distributed hydrological model, a landscape evolution model, and a morphodyamic model to simulate Puget Sound basins. The primary goal of the integrated model is to evaluate how flood risk and extent are likely to change given different future climate change scenarios and their associated changes to hydrologic and sedimentologic regimes.
