I am pursuing my Masters degree through the School for Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan and am maintaining a joint appointment with the SURF and Informal Sustainability labs, where I combine critical urban theory with empirical models under the guidance of Dr. Benjamin Goldstein and Dr. Brandon Marc Finn. My work is motivated by my background in materials science, my interests in sustainability and resource stewardship, and my desire to challenge the asymmetrical power systems that shape the production of space. My research focuses on developing an empirical framework to quantify urban-rural teleconnections by reconstructing the domestic aggregate (limestone and sand) supply chain, demonstrating the linkages between the quarry and the city block. While I'm currently focused on the materials that make up our built environment, I am broadly interested in exposing the systems that sacrifice our natural world for the accumulation of resources, using compuational methods such as network analysis, machine learning, and multimodal data science to reconstruct domestic and interntional commodity supply chains.
