About Me

I am a MSc student in the Department of Geology at the University of Kansas. Some of interests are environmental data science, statistics and science communication. I have done some work on road salt contamination in western Massachusetts wetlands, impacts of landuse changes of streamflow flashiness and differential privacy. My current research focuses on using the AquaCrop model to create crop-water productivity models that simulate the impacts of community-driven groundwater management strategies in Kansas and Colorado.

Streamflow flashiness trends
Streamflow flashiness trends

Examining long term trends in streamflow signatures is useful for understanding how changes in land use and precipitation patterns impact streamflow regimes. One particular metric of streamflow regimes that encapsulates flow variations is the Richards-Baker flashiness index.
