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 have supported urban search and rescue operations and informed journalism and humanitarian work, in addition to 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. I now develop automated change detection methods that use satellite data for crisis and humanitarian response, mainly focused on mapping building damage in conflict and disaster settings.
