My Research

My research focuses on understanding climate systems as coupled, data-rich processes, where physical dynamics, environmental risk, and human impacts intersect. Across projects, we combine observational datasets, computational modeling, and applied engineering to study hydroclimate variability, extreme heat, and the water-energy nexus. Each project is designed as a reproducible research pipeline, producing both scientific insight and transferable methods.

Osmotic Power Generation through a Salinity Gradient

OsmoFlux

How can continuous osmotic power generation in desalination plants be optimized using reverse electrodialysis, and what system-level performance is achievable under real-world operating constraints?

HeatShield

How can extreme heat risk be quantified at neighborhood scale by integrating climate, environmental, and demographic data to identify communities facing compounded vulnerability?

HydroPulse

How can hydroclimate anomalies be detected and classified by separating short-term weather variability from persistent climate shifts across hydrologic regimes?

QuantumMelody

Can quantum-inspired models be used to analyze and compare vocal performance by encoding musical features related to pitch, dynamics, and timbre?
