As an <b>Associate Professor in Hydroinformatics and Integrated Hydroclimate</b> in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering and the School of Natural Resources, my research, teaching and service programs operate at the intersection of engineering and science. I study climate-resilient water and biological systems and their interdependence with other systems designing mechanisms for the operationalization of adaptive management strategies for the sustainability of the Earth system. Some of the products of my academic work are the (re)design and management of climate-resilient infrastructure in a non-stationary world, as well as a better understanding of the underlying principles that enable water and biological systems to maintain their core functions and natural processes.
