Biography

I am a second-year PhD candidate in the Department of Earth Science and Environmental Change at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris, working with Dr. Jennifer Druhan and Dr. Julien Bouchez. My research aims to understand the effects of different vegetation on water cycling and solute exports in rivers in mountainous Mediterranean environments, both during baseflow conditions and storms.
