I am a Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow at the Andlinger Center for Energy and Environment at Princeton University. I completed my PhD at UC Davis in the Land, Air, and Water Resources Department in Spring 2023.

I received my B.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering, along with a minor in Global Poverty and Practice, from UC Berkeley, with a focus on drinking water treatment technologies in low-resource contexts. However, a desire to understand and address the root causes of lack of water access led me to shift to a systems perspective that is heavily informed by the social sciences.

In my current work, I use dynamical systems modeling and other methods from the complexity sciences to understand how the social relations and physical infrastructure that determine the distribution of and access to natural resources resources shape system resilience, sustainability, and equity. I am also interested in combining empirical social science work with participatory model-building to understand diverse real-world social-ecological systems.
