Wide interest in water quality in various freshwater bodies, from shallow and hypereutrophic lakes, wetlands, to experimental lakes. I am currently a PhD student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and being advised by Dr. Emily Stanley. My work focuses on spatial heterogeneity of lakes and understanding how they function during algal blooms and what those dynamics may look like across larger spatial scales.
