About me

I am a Postdoctoral Associate at the Earth Observation & Innovation Lab at Virginia Tech, and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the United Nations University's Global Lab for Environmental Intelligence. I earned my Ph.D. in Geosciences from Virginia Tech in May 2025.

My research integrates satellite observations and computational modeling to assess geohazards and infrastructure risks, advancing resilience in water resources, energy systems, and national infrastructure.
