I develop scientific methods and datasets to help better understand, respond to, and recover from the physical impacts of armed conflict and disaster.
With Conflict Ecology at Oregon State, I run an open-source building damage assessment program. Our deliverables across multiple conflict and disaster settings have informed hundreds of news articles, been referenced in reports from humanitarian organizations, and cited in international legal proceedings.
I earned a PhD from the City University of New York in 2025 using interferometric synthetic aperture radar to study physical impacts of armed conflict. Today, I work to bring automated change detection into humanitarian geospatial analytics and develop scientific methodologies to map building damage across armed conflict and disaster settings.
