2025 Delaware Estuary Science & Environmental Summit

I am a fourth year PhD student in the Earth Sciences Department at the University of Delaware. My dissertation evaluates the impact of anthropogenic activities, such as dredging and anchor drags, on the distribution of sediment and bedforms in the Delaware and Hudson Rivers. My goal is to help define and locate critical habitat for anadromous fish species in this region and to aid regional managers on future dredge practices and vessel traffic policies.

My research interests include coastal and fluvial geomorphology, hydrodynamics, marine robotics, geologic mapping, and geologic hazard management.
