Moving to Kent State University

As of August 2024, I have joined the Department of Geography at Kent State University as an Assistant Professor.

At Kent State, I direct the Human-Environment Systems, Interactions, Impacts, and Intelligence (HESI) Lab, where my students and I study complex interactions among environmental change, governance systems, land-use decisions, and spatial inequalities. Our work uses, simulation, GeoAI, and stakeholder-engaged methods to examine water quality, watershed restoration, flood vulnerability, and the dynamics of social-ecological systems.

This move marks an exciting new chapter for my research, teaching, and student mentorship. At Kent State, I look forward to continuing to build a policy-relevant human-environment systems research program, with active and emerging work in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, Western Lake Erie Basin, and other social-ecological systems.
