I am an engineer by training, although I sometimes pose as a limnologist. In my research, I use engineering techniques and principles to understand the processes that influence the response of the lake ecosystem to drivers, with an emphasis on the response to changing climate. Currently, I am a post doctoral researcher at the Center for Limnology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with Peter McIntyre. I am working on a project to couple physical, chemical, and biological models to predict losses of cold-water fish from inland lakes under climate warming in collaboration with Jordan Read at the CIDA and Andrew Rypel at the WDNR. In 2016, I received my PhD in civil and environmental engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I studied the response of water temperatures, ice cover, and fish habitat to long-term changes in climate with Chin Wu. Prior to my PhD, I obtained my B.C.E. in civil engineering from the University of Minnesota and worked as a water supply planning intern at Metropolitan Council of the Twin Cities and as a civil engineering intern at the University of Minnesota.
