I am the Technical Lead at Adaptora, a Tensora Company, building novel systems for coastal change early-warning and future scenario forecasting. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow in Geophysics at the Colorado School of Mines and received my PhD in Geophysics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as a member of the MIT-WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography and Engineering. My dissertation is entitled The Flow and Fracture of Antarctic Ice Shelves.I am a climate geophysicist working at the intersection of remote sensing, physics, and data-driven modeling to understand the deformation of the ground beneath our feet and extreme climate scenarios. I’m interested in advancing solutions for climate adaptation and resilience through rigorously tested science and creative collaborations.
