I work to better understand the physical impacts of war and conflict by advancing the science of conflict Earth observation.

My research on conflict impacts is featured in reporting from publications like the New York Times, Financial Times, Washington Post, BBC, CNN, NPR, Bloomberg and many others. I’ve been interviewed about mapping wartime damage by organizations including Scientific American, Marketplace, and Democracy Now. My work is also cited in reports from international humanitarian organizations and as lines of evidence in litigation related to international humanitarian law.

I’m a PhD candidate at the CUNY Graduate Center and coordinate closely with the Conflict Ecology group at Oregon State. I also organize with the Conflict and Environment Academic Network and the Decentralized Damage Mapping Group.
