Research Summary
I use a variety of tools including numerical models, social surveys, and experiments to better understand and manage humans' interactions with the largest available store of freshwater on the planet - groundwater. I combine an interest in solving real-world, field-scale problems with a technical toolbelt that includes social science research, mathematical tools such as optimization and probability, and skills in field data collection across a wide range of applications.
