I am a research scientist specializing in the integration of geospatial data, geotechnical analysis, and hydrologic modeling. My work spans the application of machine learning to GNSS-based near–real-time rainfall forecasting, scalable flood prediction, and the development of automated geospatial data pipelines for monitoring slope stability and land subsidence across diverse environments.
My Ph.D. research focused on identifying the key drivers of land subsidence in urban coastal regions through integrated remote sensing and subsurface analysis. Following a summer internship with Freeport-McMoRan Inc., I became involved in broader geotechnical applications within the mining industry. There, I leveraged my expertise to develop a rapid, comprehensive InSAR-based data stream prototype representing a new class of early risk identification systems for tailings storage facilities and open-pit mining operations.
Conducted subsurface investigations, tailings dam safety, slope stability, and integration of geotechnical data with remote sensing.
Developed Python-based automation, cloud processing, and reproducible scientific workflows.
Improved hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, and conducted water quality assessment.
Performed topographic surveys to determine optimal road alignment and slope design. Translated roadway designs into field implementation through grading and leveling operations.
Supported geotechnical instruction, subsurface analysis, and guided students in the use of 3D modeling software during laboratory sessions.
Developed hands-on instruction covering the mathematical foundations of GPS observations. Guided students in the use of GPS processing and analysis software
