Geological Sciences
I earned dual degrees in Earth and Environmental Sciences and Mathematics from Lehigh University. During my undergraduate studies, I conducted a thesis on knickpoint migration which inspired my interest in fluvial geomorphology. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree at the University of Delaware under the guidance of Dr. James Pizzuto. My research aims to develop a novel sediment transport model for rivers typical of the mid-Atlantic to understand the timing of sediment delivery to downstream locations. This model will determine the pathways and travel times of contaminated fine sediment in gravel-bedded rivers, considering four storage reservoirs: short-term streambed storage, long-term streambed storage, channel margin, and floodplain.
