Experience

Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability

Led original research on multiphase instabilities in Earth systems, related to changing dynamics in persistently degassing volcanoes. Executed direct numerical simulations of solid-fluid-gas interactions on high-performance computing clusters. Developed a custom Python post-processing pipeline to analyze large datasets and visualize emergent patterns. Presented at AGU 2023; manuscript in preparation.

Sandia National Laboratories

Designed a modeling approach adapting a smoothed-particle hydrodynamics framework to simulate interactions between floating algae mats and wave energy, assessing impacts of Caribbean Sargassum on renewable energy potential.

Stanford Haas Center for Public Service

Partnered with environmental nonprofits, community leaders, and university stakeholders to advance community-engaged research at the new Doerr School of Sustainability. Partipated in academic colloqium on theory and practice of community-engaged research and teaching, as a part of a cohort.

MIT Environmental Solutions Initiative

Founding member of a rapid-response research team producing actionable briefs, white papers, and technical-policy synthesis products for urgent environmental challenges. Projects include contributing to a white paper on water access and ethical engagement with the Navajo Nation, and organizing public comments on the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
