I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at UC Santa Barbara, working with Rafael J.P. Schmitt on optimizing sustainable hydropower and riverine connectivity. In October 2026, I will be joining Albert Ruhí at UC Berkeley as a Croucher Fellow to investigate how extreme events are reshuffling diadromous fishes. Previously, I earned my PhD working with David Dudgeon and Jia Huan Liew on the impacts of fragmentation by dams on diadromous species at The University of Hong Kong. Prior to my academic journey I founded Freshwater Collective, a conservation organization with the aim of bridging the gap between research and education of freshwater ecology.
