My research focuses on climate adaptation for stormwater infrastructure in the urban environment, specifically how stakeholders are using climate data for planning, modeling, and adaptation under the deep uncertainty associated with climate change, and how green infrastructure and nature-based solutions can be used as effective and equitable adaptation strategies. Currently, I am modeling green and grey stormwater infrastructure at two spatial scales: on the site scale using Python to understand performance of an aging green roof on the Carnegie Mellon campus, and at the community scale implementing a dual-drainage model to capture block scale flows in a historically underserved neighborhood in Pittsburgh, PA. Both models are supported by field work and informed by collaboration with local stakeholders and/or utilities. Outside of research, I enjoy other water-related activities: swimming for exercise, walking along the water in one of Pittsburgh’s many parks, and visiting the beach with my family in Jamaica.
