I’m passionate about fluid mechanics research and education. My research at the University of Colorado Boulder leverages experimental and computational fluid dynamics to study transport and dispersion phenomena in diverse biologically inspired contexts. I serve as an independent and collaborative researcher, co-advisor to three PhD students, data curator and lab manager, PhD committee member, and adjunct instructor. My research efforts contribute to the Odor2Action Network, a $20M+ NSF NeuroNex project dedicated to olfaction that brings together an interdisciplinary team of investigators from 16 universities in the US, UK, and Canada. Current research projects are related to plume dispersion and information content in odor landscapes, engineered and biological chemical sensing modalities, olfactory navigation in complex environmental flows, and big data curation. I serve as co-PI on a US Department of Defense sponsored contract studying plume dispersion from improvised explosive devices and play a central or supporting role in the conceptual development of several collaborative research proposals.
