Hurricane Harvey made landfall on August 25, 2017 near Corpus Christi, Texas. Over the next five days the storm devastated the Texas coast, dropping over 36 inches of rain over 2500 sq mi area and causing unprecedented levels of damage. Harvey is likely the costliest storm in U.S. history, exceeding Hurricane Katrina. Life-threatening flooding in the City of Houston and surrounding areas caught the world’s attention.

Ph.D. Student
My research focuses on watershed hydrology, water resources, and flood resilience, with applications to urban and coastal communities. I study how precipitation, infiltration, storage, and runoff influence flood risk and how sustainable approaches can help reduce flood impacts and improve community resilience.
