My mission is to improve environmental health by pushing the boundaries of research and innovation. I apply high throughput sequencing technologies and AI to understand the impact of environmental change on freshwater ecosystems. I work with ghost DNA and resurrected crustaceans to identify the causes of biodiversity loss and the mechanisms of evolution that allow species to persist.
I love multidisciplinary science and thinking out of the box. This thinking has led me to patent and commercialize a water reclamation and waste valorization technology that meets the net-zero carbon emission goals and delivers clean water to all. By translating cutting-edge multidisciplinary science into practical applications, I provide tools and processes for mitigation interventions that enable green growth and meet UN developmental goals.
