I am currently a postdoc at the Karst Research Institute ZRC SAZU in Slovenia, supported by an NSF International Research Postdoctoral Fellowship. I study karst hydrology and geomorphology as well as glacial hydrology. In this research I employ a quantitative, process-based approach, using a combination of analytical models, computer simulations, and field observations.

My areas of research interest include:

• Modeling storm flows through karstic aquifers and using them as a tool for probing aquifer geometry.


• Inverse modeling of karst conduit systems.


• Understanding the role of sediment transport and corresponding mechanical erosion in speleogenesis.


• Examining the effect of flood events on speleogenesis.


• Understanding the development and behavior of glacial conduits.
