I am an atmospheric modeler, boundary layer meteorologist, computational hydrologist, engineer, teacher and mentor working to improve global understanding of the connection between the land surface we live on and the atmosphere above us. My research aims to build models for water, carbon and energy that apply in data rich uniform cropland, complex human engineered urban areas, and poorly instrumented, vast mountain forests, allowing environmental scientists, modelers and decision makers in all parts of our earth to make informed choices.

To this end, I work to harness a wealth of satellite and in-situ data, high resolution models, fundamental physics, and modern machine learning methods to improve predictions of how water, energy, and carbon moves across the land-atmosphere continuum, especially in complex terrain and heterogeneous landscapes.

Prior to starting my position as an Assitant Professor in Environmental Engineering at Union College, I was an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Utah.
