Research Synopsis

My research emphasizes remote sensing of the cryosphere. Currently, I have a particular interest in meltwater detection and quantification using passive sensors and laser altimeters, namely ICESat-2 and Operation IceBridge. I am developing an algorithm that automatically detects and retrieves depths from supraglacial lakes on Antarctica and Greenland.

Personal Introduction

I am a third year Ph.D. student currently working under Dr. Mark Flanner. Before my graduate studies, I was a student at NC State University for meteorology. There, I focused on aerosols and photochemistry before transitioning to remote sensing and modern physics.

I have performed additional work at NASA Langley Research Center as an intern for the Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) and Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) missions.

In addition to conducting research, I am interested in teaching, and I plan to receive a teaching certificate with my doctoral degree.
