PhD (she/her)
Assistant Teaching Professor
Lab Coordinator - ERT 105
Earth Science Club Faculty Advisor
Specialties:
Urban soil, electrical methods in geophysics, environmental geophysics, infiltration dynamics, stormwater, urban flooding, geophysical monitoring
Education
PhD, Geoscience, Temple University – 2023
M.S., Geology, Baylor University – 2017

Research Interests
Using electrical geophysical methods to assess water movement in the shallow subsurface with implications for stormwater management (such as combined sewers), soil assessment, green infrastucture management, flood hazards and urban land use. Specifically, I build geophysical monitoring stations to perform long-term monitoring. I am also a part of UB's Urban Soil Health Initiative.
