I am a quantitative geomorphologist interested in sediment transport and erosion mechanics. I utilize a combination of mathematical modeling, physical experiments, and field data to better understand the  processes and governing physics which underpin landscape form and shape Earth's surface.

 

I am currently an Alexander von Humboldt post-doctoral fellow, based at GFZ-Potsdam, working on rock damage and healing effects on bedrock erosion. 

 

I received my PhD at UC-Santa Cruz, working with

Noah Finnegan on the biological and physical modifications to the onset of sediment motion.

​

I'm excited to join the faculty in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis in January 2020!
