K-12 Outreach

Affiliation: UCLA

I am currently an Environmental Science major at UCLA, with a minor in Environmental Engineering. My main interests are urban planning and water sustainability, so the UPP Down Under is the perfect fit for me! Everything we’ve learned through the program is applicable and useful, and I’ve loved being able to interact with people who share my interests.

I am interested in developing models for hyporheic exchange that can assist in the restoration of urban streams, and the design of natural treatment systems such as wetlands and biofilters. This project will link together mass transport theory (Professor Stanley Grant, UCI), direct numerical simulations of turbulent and particle-laden boundary layer flows (Professor Said Elghobashi, UCI), and experimental measurements of hyporheic exchange in laboratory flumes (Professor Mike Stewardson and Australian Research Council Fellow and Professor Ivan Marusic, University of Melbourne).

My research interests are diverse, encompassing open space conservation and management for wildlife; mitigation and habitat restoration as they relate to ameliorating biodiversity loss, particularly in coastal sage scrub and wetlands (ecological restoration); rare, threatened and endangered species, particularly in wetland habitats; invasive species; and environmental ethics.
