My research combines freshwater ecology, conservation policy, and river restoration strategies to support freshwater ecosystems and the people that depend on them. I have worked in rivers around the world, and I prioritize collaborating with local communities to develop research questions and target specific restoration problems. I am especially interested in how large-scale human activities, like building hydropower dams or writing conservation policies, impact river ecosystems and the species that occupy them.
I am currently a PhD candidate at University of California, Berkeley, working with Dr. Justin Brashares and Dr. Albert Ruhi. |
