I am a Ph.D. student in Hydrology,

at the Joint Program at San Diego State University & University of California, Santa Barbara, and a Quad Fellow by Schmidt Futures. 

I am interested in soil moisture,

measured both from in-situ sensors and remotely sensed from satellite platforms.

The research questions I am tackling are

• How does soil moisture controls hydrological and land-atmosphere processes at multiple spatio-temporal scales?
• How to represent the processes in modeling?
• How to leverage the research outcomes for flood and drought management under climate and land-use changes?
