Welcome! I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Delaware’s Center for Applied Coastal Research. My work sits at the interface of coastal hydrodynamics, natural hazard response, and resilience research, combining field campaigns, wave basin experiments, and community engagement.

I am passionate about advancing coastal resilience through science-based solutions, interdisciplinary collaboration, and real-world impact. 

I hold a doctoral degree in Civil Engineering from Technical University Kaiserslautern (Germany), where I developed interdisciplinary strategies to enhance flood emergency management. My current projects include leading field deployments for the Mid-Atlantic wave sensor network (MARACOOS) and analyzing swash-zone flows under oblique wave forcing in collaboration with U.S. and Canadian research labs.

In addition to my research, I serve as an inaugural at-large member of ASCE's Coastal Engineering Research Council, where I advocate for the voice of young professionals in the coastal engineering community.
