I am an Edward W. Rose Postdoctoral Scholar working with the K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

My work has been defined by an interest in mathematics and a passion for wildlife conservation. I completed my bachelor’s degrees in applied math and computer science from the University of Washington, followed by a PhD in applied math at Harvard. As a graduate student, I worked on interdisciplinary projects incorporating optimization, machine learning, and robotics.

In the latter half of my PhD, I transitioned to adapting techniques from these fields for the development of conservation technology. I am now working on improving automated passive acoustic monitoring of vocal wildlife, with a particular focus on the development and implementation of robust methods for sound source separation and localization. I’m also interested in broader applications of technology for sustainability and social impact.

I’m always happy to talk about research. Please feel free to reach out over email!
