About Me


I'm a civil engineer interested in solving problems at the intersection of infrastructure, climate change, and economics. Much of my work focuses on quantifying the costs of flood risk to infrastructure systems, valuing flood risk reduction efforts, and more generally supporting project teams as they make the case for investments in flood risk reduction (i.e., climate change adaptation)

I'm currently a Civil Engineer in the Planning Division at the US Army Corps of Engineers New York District, where I assist in the planning of coastal flood protection and navigation projects in the greater NYC area. I also advise and collaborate with project and research teams outside the NY District on issues relating to flood risk quantification for critical infrastructure. I'm additionally involved in the revision and drafting of national coastal storm risk management and sea level change guidance. 

My prior work has focused flood risk quantification for rail rapid transit infrastructure (i.e., figuring out how tunnels flood and what gets damaged as a consequence). During my time as a member of the MIT Transit Lab working under Professor Andrew Whittle, I conducted interdisciplinary research developing climate adaptation planning tools for Boston's regional transit authority (MBTA).
