Art, photography, and film
Outside of research, I'm an avid hiker, runner, and backpacker, and try to spend as much time as I can in wild places. I try to convey the awe of our planet and its creatures through sketches and photos. I'm also learning filmmaking, and have made my first documentary film!
Film
The Frog Barn: Engineering for Wildlife Conservation
In a barn in the woods of upstate New York, a small team of engineers builds the acoustic recorders that scientists use to listen to birds, whales, elephants, frogs, and bats around the world. This film follows their work.

I mostly sketch in pen and pencil, sometimes wandering to digital illustration, and have painted in oil and pastel. Here are some wildlife sketches, and a charcoal portrait of my grandfather.
Photography
During my PhD, I co-founded and led Harvard’s graduate photography society for a few years, organizing trips, competitions, guest speakers, and photographing events across campus.
