I am 5th year PhD candidate in environmental engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. I will be presenting at AGU Fall Meeting 2025, please come and say hello! I am also helping organize the “Forest Ecohydrology Across Natural and Urban Landscapes: Processes, Quantitation, and Innovative Applications” session.

In my work, I use a variety of tools, from machine learning and remote sensing to greenhouse experiments, to understand ecosystem water and carbon cycling. My dissertation chapters are focused on:

1. How does soil moisture affect foliar water uptake from fog and dew?
2. Can we use proximal hyperspectral imagery (solar-induced fluorescence) to observe spatial and temporal patterns in photosynthetic activity?
3. How does leaf wetting affect grassland productivity under a range of soil water potential?
