From FEMA flood mapping and coastal restoration to GPU-accelerated ocean models and full-stack analytical platforms.
Led development of a full-stack decision-support platform for evaluating desalination plant performance, capacity phasing, and lifecycle cost tradeoffs. Built scenario-simulation frameworks using time-series forecasting and Monte Carlo analysis to inform equipment choices, phasing strategies, and financial feasibility for large-scale water infrastructure.
Originated and advanced a strategic water storage initiative to enhance long-term system resilience for a major industrial zone. Developed demand projections, revenue frameworks, and lifecycle cost models to support infrastructure investment and funding strategy. Coordinated across engineering, executive, and regulatory stakeholders.
Field measurements and hydrodynamic analysis of estuarine circulation through Matlacha Pass. Shipboard and bottom-mounted ADCP measurements over ~20-hour tidal cycles, paired with CTD casts for salinity and temperature profiles. Analysis informed stakeholder understanding of ecological risk and fish kill events.
Applied an Attention-based Dense U-Net to automatically segment tidal creek networks from 0.5 m aerial imagery across 255 km² of coastal marshland. Achieved an F1 score of 0.98, replacing labor-intensive manual GIS delineation and enabling landscape-scale analysis of creek–marsh evolution.
View publicationCo-developed a GPU-accelerated ocean hydrodynamic simulation tool enabling rapid feasibility assessments and risk analyses for coastal and estuarine systems. Achieved significant runtime improvements over traditional CPU-based approaches.
Co-led scenario modeling for septic-to-sewer expansion across three Southwest Florida counties. Simulated tens of thousands of infrastructure configurations to identify cost-effective approaches to hazard reduction. Analytical frameworks aligned with state grant requirements to strengthen municipal funding proposals.
Multi-year field-based research on Georgia NERR coastal marshes. Drone imagery, satellite remote sensing, boat-based measurements, and ecological field observations to understand marsh system dynamics, creek evolution, and the impacts of sea-level rise and grazer activity. Published in PNAS and Nature Communications.
1D-2D MIKE Flood hydraulic modeling across a 400+ km² coastal domain to evaluate large-scale flood protection and saltwater intrusion prevention alternatives. Biweekly briefings with Louisiana CPRA and state stakeholders, translating complex model results into defensible planning decisions informing hundred-million-dollar infrastructure investments.
Hydrodynamic modeling and alternatives analysis for ship channel infrastructure, delivering outputs that informed multi-hundred-million-dollar investment decisions for restoration and resilience planning. Integrated engineering analysis with regulatory, environmental, and funding considerations.
Hundreds of kilometers of riverine HEC-RAS hydraulic modeling for FEMA flood risk mapping. Developed automated GIS analysis tools that reduced geospatial processing from hours to minutes. Supported post-Hurricane Sandy hazard analysis and contributed to resilience planning efforts.
Satellite-based remote sensing and GIS analysis of how the Amazon's major rivers change shape over time. Multi-decadal channel migration and floodplain evolution analysis across the world's largest river basin.
Designed a gravity-fed water distribution system for a remote mountain village, including site assessment, hydraulic design, and construction support for sustainable rural water infrastructure.
Environmental and infrastructure projects across three continents.
