FULL BIO

For my PhD I'm working on water quality and water reuse -- how organic contaminants end up in organisms and how the communication of scientific information influences decision-making in water reuse projects.

Elsewhere in life I'm pursuing projects with Engineers for a Sustainable World and the design school at Stanford (with International Development Enterprises in Myanmar).
